Method

Instructions

A mellow, garden-fresh zero-proof highball: cucumber and ripe pear bring a soft, natural sweetness; mint and a light thyme infusion give it a leafy aroma; a squeeze of lemon and sparkling water leave a clean, crisp finish. Its muted sage-green hue catches the light without looking artificial. Ingredients 60 ml cucumber juice 30 ml pear nectar 15 ml fresh lemon juice 15 ml thyme syrup 6 fresh mint leaves 90 ml chilled sparkling water For the thyme syrup: Warm 100 ml water with 100 g sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add 4 small thyme sprigs, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and chill. Makes about 120 ml; allow 20 minutes, including cooling. Preparation Gently press the mint leaves once or twice in a shaker—just enough to release their aroma. Add cucumber juice, pear nectar, lemon juice, thyme syrup, and ice. Shake briefly, then fine-strain into a clear highball glass over fresh ice. Top with sparkling water and give one gentle stir. Glass Clear highball glass. Garnish A fresh mint sprig and one tiny, food-safe white flower.
