  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange blossom water*

    Put cucumber juice, reserved slices, mint, simple syrup, orange and lime juices, and orange blossom water into a container to chill, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day ahead.

    When ready to serve, add ice and top with club soda.
