🥒🍋 Cucumber Lemonade (Fresh & Homemade)

🌿 Light, crisp, and naturally cooling — this is lemonade with a spa-day twist!


📦 Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 3–4 lemons)

  • 3–4 tablespoons sweetener

    • Options: honey, maple syrup, agave, or cane sugar

    • For sugar-free: use stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol

  • 2 cups cold water

  • 1 cup ice (plus more for serving)

  • Optional add-ins:

    • A handful of fresh mint leaves

    • Pinch of salt for an electrolyte boost

    • Extra lemon slices or cucumber rounds for garnish


🧃 Instructions:

1. Blend:

Add chopped cucumber, lemon juice, sweetener, and 1 cup of water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and frothy.

2. Strain (Optional):

If you prefer a smooth lemonade, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove pulp. If you enjoy pulp and texture, you can skip this step.

3. Add Remaining Water & Ice:

Stir in the remaining 1 cup of cold water and the ice. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as desired.

4. Serve:

Pour into glasses over ice. Garnish with lemon slices, cucumber rounds, or fresh mint. Serve chilled.


💡 Tips & Variations:

  • 💧 Spa Water Vibe: Add mint and a few thin cucumber slices right to the pitcher.

  • 🌱 Make it Sparkling: Use soda water or club soda instead of still water for bubbles.

  • 🍹 Adult Twist: Add a splash of vodka, gin, or tequila for a refreshing summer cocktail.

  • ❄️ Frozen Version: Blend with extra ice to turn it into a cucumber lemonade slushie!


🧊 Storage:

  • Store in the fridge for up to 2–3 days in a sealed pitcher.

  • Shake or stir before serving — natural separation may occur.
