Storage

Cucumber Lime Fizz is best served immediately after making it.

If you need to prepare ingredients ahead, keep the cucumber and lime mixture covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Add fresh ice and sparkling water just before serving.

Freezing

It is not recommended to freeze the finished drink because sparkling water will lose its carbonation.

You can freeze cucumber and lime juice in ice cube trays and use the cubes when making a fresh drink.
