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)! Stay Hydrated. Cucumber contains tons of water and blends easily into a refreshing, hydrating cucumber drink with a little lime and mint.
It’s a refreshing drink with earthy, crisp notes. You get a slight bite and tang from the fresh lime juice and fresh mint. It’s bright green color and effervescence from the sparkling water makes it feel even lighter and more cooling. 🛒 Ingredients You Need First and foremost, make the cucumber juice. Peel the cucumbers, and toss them into the blender. Blend for a minute or so, until well combined, then strain into a pitcher. Voila! You’ve got cucumber juice. 🙂Cucumber is great in salads and sauces…but an even better use for this green veggie, in our opinion? In drinks!

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 Freshly muddled cucumber, vermouth and vodka create a refreshing botanical cucumber martini. Hints of lime add contrast and complexity to this summertime sipper. Green, refreshing, and delicious. Jump to:
Spiked lemonade: Spike it by the glass! Add ¼ cup vodka or 3 tablespoons gin to 1 cup cucumber lemonade. 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. 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.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. There are also several brands of cucumber vodka on the market: Effen Cucumber Vodka is a popular brand. Other bottles are made by the brands Ketel One, Eight Degrees, Western Son and Putnam Pearl. Tips: how to make a cucumber gimlet Cucumber: Any cucumber will work, but the absolute best variety to use in this cucumber martini is an English cucumber. They're also known as "hot house" or "seedless cucumbers", which is a bit of a misnomer given they do contain seeds. Their seeds, however, are much smaller than regular cucumbers, which makes for a smoother purée. They also have little to no bitterness.
