Honey Cucumber Lemonade

August 27, 2012

Lemonade is one of the most refreshing drinks during a hot summer day. Although the end of summer is approaching, it still feels like summer has no plans to leave Arizona. With this Honey Cucumber Lemonade drink, you will be able to stay cool and hydrated over Labor Day Weekend.

You’ll need: 3-5 slices of peeled cucumber; honey; ice cubes; and homemade or store-bought lemonade (we had Crystal Light on hand and used that). I will demonstrate how to make a single serving, but you could multiply this for a large batch.

Let’s begin. First, add about cucumber slices to a mason jar or glass. Then add about 2 teaspoons of honey.

I must add that it is imperative to enjoy this drink with a swirly neon straw :)

Everyone loved the Honey Cucumber Lemonade because it is kid-friendly and can be spiked with Vodka for the adults. Here is my adorable little cousin Liz who kept asking for refills! I love introducing kids to new and unique flavors in hopes that they will grow up appreciating gourmet food and drink.
