The Secret to Fresh Cucumber Lemonade
Blend the cucumber with water, then strain if you want that clear, juice-bar look. Fresh lemon juice matters more than bottled. Sweeten just enough so it tastes like lemonade, not cucumber water. Serve it ice-cold with extra slices on the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Will this make me lose weight? 👗
No drink can promise that. This lemonade is low in calories and hydrating, which can support a healthy routine — but it is not a fat-loss formula.
Do I have to strain it? 🥤
No. Leave it unstrained for a thicker, smoothie-style drink. Strain it for a clearer lemonade like the photo.
How long does it keep? 🧊
Best the same day. Refrigerate up to 2 days. Shake before pouring because it can separate.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Add a few mint leaves to the blender for extra freshness.
- Sparkling water instead of still water makes a great spritzer.
- A pinch of salt makes the lemon taste brighter.
- For a sugar rim like the photo, dip the glass in lemon juice, then in sugar.
