Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing cucumber mocktail with a subtle herbal twist of dill and zesty lime, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced (preferably English cucumber)
  • A small handful of fresh dill sprigs
  • 1 large lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons) plus extra wedges for garnish
  • 12 oz (355 ml) tonic water, chilled
  • 1 tbsp simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill the glass
  • A few fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice about 1 medium cucumber into slices roughly 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Set aside.
  2. Roll the lime on the counter to soften it, then cut in half and juice, removing any seeds.
  3. Fill a glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
  4. Add 6-8 cucumber slices and 2-3 sprigs of fresh dill into the glass. Gently push down with a spoon to release aroma without crushing.
  5. Pour in 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of simple syrup if using.
  6. Slowly pour 12 oz (355 ml) of chilled tonic water over the ice and ingredients.
  7. Gently stir with a spoon or stirrer to combine without losing fizz or bruising the dill.
  8. Garnish with a lime wedge and a few fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh dill and lime juice for best flavor. Do not muddle dill to avoid bitterness. Use large clear ice cubes to keep the drink crisp longer. Keep tonic water chilled to maintain fizz. Simple syrup is optional and can be replaced with stevia for a zero-calorie version. Serve immediately for best freshness and carbonation.
