I love fresh Cucumber Limeade and I would always go to this place to get it. But my girl Audi was like you make this yourself and I was like you right girl! Throw in some vodka to make this extra special!
Fresh Cucumber Limeade
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers
- 10 limes
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 mint sprigs
- 8 cups spring water
Instructions
- Start off by juicing 8-9 limes. That makes about 1 cup of lime juice. Keep your other lime for garnish. Set aside.
- Add your 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Turn to medium high heat and stir til sugar is dissolved. Now you have a simple syrup. Turn off heat and add 1 sprig of mint. Set aside.
- Chop up your cucumbers and blend them in your blender or mash em up with a potato masher or fork. Once they are blended or mashed up put a strainer over a bowl and push all the juice out of it. Now you have cucumber juice. Discard your pulp or use it for compost.
- Pour your lime juice and simple syrup over strainer into cucumber juice. Mix well.
- In a pitcher pour your mixture in along with 4 cups of spring water. Taste to see if you like it this way if not add the other 4 cups of water. Throw in 2 sprigs of mint, some sliced limes and cucumbers. Chill in fridge and enjoy. This will last for 3-5 days.
