Instructions

Indulge in the freshness of the garden with this crisp and invigorating mocktail that showcases the unique use of lettuce. This drink offers a refreshing vegetal flavor, balanced with citrus and sweet notes, perfect for a relaxing afternoon or a health-conscious social gathering. Ingredients: - 3 large lettuce leaves (preferably Romaine for its mild, sweet taste) - 1/2 cucumber, sliced - 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey - 1/2 lime, freshly squeezed - 1/4 cup fresh apple juice - Sparkling water to top up - Ice cubes Garnish: - A sprig of mint - A thin cucumber ribbon or a small lettuce leaf - A lime wheel Instructions: 1. In a shaker, muddle the lettuce leaves and cucumber slices with the agave syrup or honey to extract their juices and essence. 2. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and apple juice to the mixture. 3. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. 4. Double strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass to remove the solid pieces of lettuce and cucumber. 5. Fill the glass with more ice cubes if needed, and gently top up with sparkling water. 6. Stir the mocktail gently to combine the flavors. 7. Garnish with a sprig of mint, a cucumber ribbon, or a lettuce leaf, and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve the Garden Serenity Spritz in a highball glass and enjoy the unexpected delight of lettuce in a drink that's as sophisticated as it is healthy.
