The KMI Kitchen: Garden Fresh Cucumber & Mint Spritzer

At KMI, thoughtful design extends to every moment, even a refreshing summer sip. This spritzer is our carefully balanced blend of freshness and elegance.

Yields: 2 servings | Prep time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled, chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

  • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or agave

  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water

  • Ice, plus optional garnishes (cucumber ribbons, mint, berries, lime)

Instructions:

  1. Blend cucumber, mint, lime juice, sweetener, and water until smooth.

  2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing solids.

  3. Serve over ice. Top with sparkling water for a spritzer. Garnish beautifully. (We love a good antioxidant berry blend!)


The Design of Your Sip: Crafting the Experience

This isn't just a drink; it's a sensory experience designed for discerning palates. Notice the vibrant green hue and crisp clarity – a visual testament to freshness, much like our interiors. The balanced composition harmonizes the coolness of cucumber, the aromatic lift of mint, and the bright tang of lime, creating a symphony of flavor. Serve in elegant KMH glassware to enhance the exquisite, thoughtful moments.
