Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your desired sweetness level.
- For an extra cold drink, chill the cucumber and lime before preparing.
- Use sparkling water if you prefer a less sweet and more neutral fizz.
- The drink can be prepared in advance without soda; add carbonated water just before serving to retain fizz.
- For a boozy version, add a splash of gin or vodka.
