| Cucumber-Mint Spiked Lemonade |
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cucumber, skin on and chopped up into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 ounces liquor of choice (vodka, tequila, gin, bourbon, etc.)
- 1 cup lemonade, preferably organic
- Garnish with a cucumber wheel and sprig of fresh mint
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle cucumber and mint to release juice and flavors. (Don't worry if your cucumber and mint measurements are not precise.)
- Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
- Add liquor (of choice) and lemonade. Shake for 15 seconds.
- Pour into a highball glass or stemless wine glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with a cucumber wheel and sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
* Depending on the size of your shaker, you can likely double the recipe and prepare one batch in the same shaker.
* If you are making this for a crowd, you can muddle the cucumber and mint in a pitcher and add the rest of the ingredients and stir. I recommend adding the ice to the glasses, rather than the pitcher so as not to dilute the drink.
* This recipe can be made without alcohol – you can add it after the drink is mixed or enjoy it without alcohol.
