Cucumber Mint Lemonade

 

 If you want to be cool as a cucumber over the last summer holiday weekend try this refreshing spin to the ol' glass of lemonade!

I love to sip on this while sitting on my chaise lounge in my garden or serve it up to friends for an impromptu get together.

Although the drink looks like the color of Lake Mead don't let this 'opaque' drink fool you. It's great taste always calls for seconds. And yes, you can add Vodka!

Cucumber Mint Lemonade

Ingredients:

1 can frozen lemonade

1 liter of sparkling water or regular water

 1 large cucumber - cut into chunks

2 cups mint leaves

Juice and pulp from 1/2 lemon

Prepare frozen lemonade in your favorite pitcher. Puree the cucumber with skin on, and mint in food processor until there are no big chunks of cucumber left. Stir in the juice and pulp from the lemon, and then add this mixture to your lemonade. Shake up and serve over ice.

Cheers!
