Is it so nice to have an ice-cold drink in your hand during this summer heat? These sweltering, hot days call for a tall glass of something fresh, cool, and flavorful. Here is a list of DIY summer mocktails the whole family can enjoy.
Cucumber Lemon Cooler
Looking for a drink that pairs well with your summer salads and grilling go-tos? Enter the cucumber lemon cooler. Refreshing and fizzy, it’s the crisp complement to any BBQ meal. Since the flavor is nice and light, use ice cubes instead of crushed ice to avoid diluting your drink too quickly. (Cubed ice will take longer to melt in the hot sun.)
Ingredients
- ½ cucumber
- 2–3 drops Lemon Vitality™
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 ounces club soda or sparkling water
- Mint leaves for garnish, if desired
Instructions
1. Chop cucumber into small pieces and mix with Lemon Vitality, lemon juice, and honey in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
2. Place cucumber mixture in the bottom of a mason jar and pour club soda on top. Add ice and mix well.
3. Add mint for garnish.
