Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English cucumbers are best for this recipe because they are less bitter and have fewer seeds than other varieties.
  • Use fresh limes. Fresh limes will give your seltzer a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Infuse the seltzer overnight. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer. When straining the seltzer, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any cucumber or lime pulp.
  • Serve the seltzer chilled. Cucumber-lime hard seltzer is best served chilled.
  • Garnish with a cucumber slice or lime wedge. This will add a festive touch to your seltzer.
