Cucumber is great in salads and sauces…but an even better use for this green veggie, in our opinion? In drinks! Here’s one that’s absolutely perfect for summer: Cucumber Lemonade!

Combine that with the zing of the lemon, and it’s the ideal drink for sipping on the patio for a summer barbecue. It’s easy to make: here’s how it’s done! Ingredients for cucumber lemonade It makes an amazing non-alcoholic drink to serve up for parties but it’s also great with a splash of vodka or tequila (if you want)!

Using cucumber vodka is a fun twist. We like it best with this flavored vodka, but it’s most classic with the botanical notes of gin, which pair well with the cucumber. Vodka: Here's a little secret: all vodka is basically the same. No, really. So don't feel the need to pay up for a premium brand. That Kirkland stuff will be just fine, especially for a mixed drink like this cucumber martini.Not overpowering: We've always found martinis to be a bit overpowering and one-note. This recipe is neither, with cucumber, lime, and vermouth cutting through the intense vodka flavor. Easy to Make in Large Batches! Making it perfect for parties or outdoor BBQs. Simply use the 1X, 2X, or 3X servings in the recipe card to adjust the number of servings. Make your simple syrup 1-2 days in advance… or do what I do and make a big batch so you’ve always got some in the fridge. Let it hang out in the fridge, and make a lot of it, depending on how many friends are joining you. Simple syrup: Using a liquid sweetener makes dissolving the sugar in your cucumber drink easier. Make your own simple syrup with an equal portion of water and sugar, then heat on the stove until it dissolves. You can also use a little bit of agave syrup or any other liquid sweetener you prefer.
Limes: I prefer the flavor of freshly squeezed lime with the cucumber but lemons work too. One thing is certain, for the most delicious cucumber drink, you must use fresh lime or lemon juice.Great Flavor! You will love how the flavor of the cucumber really shines in this cucumber agua fresca and how perfectly the lime and mint pair with the subtle herby flavor of the cucumber.
