Cucumber Mint Cooler August 31 2017, 0 Comments

My go-to drink is always a Vodka Soda with a Lime, so I love this variation. It's a little more adventurous than my go-to drink, and so light and refreshing. Perfect for these final days of summer!

Prep time: 10 mins

  1. Peel the cucumber and cut into 4 sections. Place in a blender with some water and blend until smooth.

  3. Combine the mint leaves, 2 quarters of the lime and sugar in a mason jar and muddle. 
  4. Add the cucumber juice, vodka and ice. Seal the mason jar and shake well.
