How to Make Cucumber Lemonade
Of course, cucumber and lemon water are the base for this cucumber lemonade recipe.
First you want to prep by making the sugar water. Then you’ll want to cut your lemons in half and peel your cucumber if you’re peeling it. If you’re using an English cucumber you don’t necessarily have to peel it.
Cut your cucumber into chunks. Then add your cucumber, sugar water and juice from the lemons into the blender to create cucumber and lemon juice. Then add your honey. Make sure all the ingredients are well blended, blending on a high speed for it about 10 seconds.
Finally, strain the cucumber & lemon water through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp.
Drinking Cucumber Honey Lemonade
The best thing about this cucumber lemon water recipe is that you can drink it like a mocktail or a simple cold beverage. Or you can add some liquor like vodka to make a mixed drink that is perfect for a summer beverage.
TIP: Garnish your cucumber honey lemon water with a wedge of lemon or a slice of cucumber. You might even want to sprinkle a few drops of bitter on top of the foam for a bit of extra color!
