    Ingredients

    An image showing all the ingredients you need to prepare Cucumber Mint Lemonade
    • Cucumber – small or big cucumber does not make a difference for this cucumber mint recipe.
    • Lime –  regular limes will do.
    • Mint – you need fresh mint to make this cucumber lemonade.
    • Lemon – get the best ones that you can find.
    • Honey – I suggest avoiding the flowery, flavored ones because they tend to overpower the cucumber and lemon flavor.

    Also, the darker the honey’s color, the more it would tone down the brightness of the lemonade.

    Preparation

    Start preparing your cucumber lemonade by combining the chopped cucumber, lemon juice, lime juice, and honey in the blender (photo 1).

    Helpful tips

    • Peel the cucumber if you prefer.  Do note that the result would be less ‘green’ as well.
    • You can replace honey with the same quantity of molasses.  

    Try not to get the dark one, though, because it would impact the cucumber lemonade’s color.

    • If you want an extra zing to your cucumber lemonade, replace regular cold water with sparkling water.
    • You might need to add more honey, depending on the intensity of the lemons and lime.  

    Plus, remember that you will be adding some ice when you serve this cucumber mint lemonade on individual glasses.

    Notes

    • Use plain, light honey if you can.  It will make sure that it will not overpower the cucumber lemonade’s flavors (and brightness).
    • You can substitute molasses for honey, the same quantity.
    • Peel the cucumber if that’s what you prefer. Do note that it would affect how ‘green’ your cucumber mint lemonade is.
    • Sparkling water is an excellent alternative to regular water if you want that extra zing for your cucumber lemonade.
    • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey that you would use. Bear in mind that you would also be adding some ice on it when serving.
