Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 2 cups filtered water, chilled
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt (fine grind)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup fresh cucumber juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Flavor Enhancers:

  • ¼ teaspoon blue Persian salt (for rimming)
  • 68 fresh mint leaves
  • ½ teaspoon dried butterfly pea flowers
  • Thin cucumber ribbons for garnish
  • 23 drops orange blossom water

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of chilled glasses and dip into Persian blue salt spread on a small plate. Chill glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes if desired.
  2. Quick-Activate Your Cucumber: In a shaker, combine cucumber juice with pink Himalayan salt and stir for 15 seconds to enhance its natural compounds.
  3. Build Your Base: Add honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and mint leaves to the shaker. Gently muddle the mint 4-5 times to release essential oils without bitterness.
  4. The Ultimate Salt Trick Magic: Add chilled water and butterfly pea flowers to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for exactly 15 seconds using the ‘shoulder-ear-shoulder’ motion.
  5. Strain and Finish: Double-strain into prepared glasses, garnish with a cucumber ribbon spiral, and add a single drop of orange blossom water on top.

Notes

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Ultimate Salt Trick Mocktails:

  • Shake Precisely: Shake for exactly 15 seconds to achieve optimal dilution and temperature.
  • Garnish Creatively: Use the butterfly pea flower’s color-changing effect for a magical visual touch.
