Refreshing Cucumber Cooler Recipe (Party Size)
Kimberly Snyder
I created this invigorating cocktail with my wonderful team at Glow Bio, my organic juice, smoothie and cleanse company. We have a lot of passion about putting life-changing drinks into people’s bodies to make a healthier world. Never doubt that a drink can change your life. This one is a great one to sip after a long day or on the weekends, as a nice reward. Well done, for just being you and taking care of yourself!
- 10 medium cucumbers
- 20 tablespoons fresh mint leaves plus a few sprigs for garnishing
- 7.5 cups cool filtered water
- 20 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 5-6 teaspoon stevia optional
Peel the cucumber if it is nonorganic. Cut a single thin slice from one end of the cucumber and reserve. Juice the cucumber and the mint together in a juicer. If no juicer is available, blend the cucumber, mint and water in a blender or food processor, and then strain the mixture through a cheesecloth. Pour the cucumber juice into a tall glass.
Stir in the lime juice, stevia and filtered water (if you did not blend it in already). You can shake this drink in a cocktail shaker with a little ice if you really want to emulate a cocktail, though digestion-wise drinking this cool but without ice is more ideal.
Garnish the cooler with a beautiful sprig of fresh mint and the reserved cucumber slice.
