    Benefits of cucumber lemonade

    Fresh cucumbers, tangy limes, and aromatic mint create a delicious and healthy lemonade without artificial additives and a range of health benefits.

    Cucumbers contain over 95% water, making this lemonade an excellent hydrator while supporting bodily functions. Both cucumbers and limes are rich in vitamins. Lemons are high in vitamin C, which supports the immune system. Besides that, cucumbers provide vitamins K and B, which contribute to bone health and metabolism.

    Moreover, cucumbers have a high fiber content, which aids in digestion and prevents constipation. Lime juice also stimulates the production of digestive enzymes.

    Why you’ll love this recipe

    • Refreshing and hydrating – Sparkling water adds a bubbly quality to the lemonade, making it more refreshing and thirst-quenching.
    • Light and low-calorie – Sparkling water adds volume to the drink without extra calories or sugars.
    • Digestive benefits – With the natural soothing qualities of cucumber and mint, this drink can provide a soothing effect on the digestive system.
    • All-natural ingredients – Cucumbers, mint, and lime are all unprocessed ingredients, making this an all-natural and healthier soda without missing out on taste.
    • Customizable – You can adjust the sweetness level, the amount of mint, and the intensity of the cucumber and lime to suit your taste. Moreover, you can add other fruits or herbs to create your favorite version of the lemonade.

    Ingredient notes

    ingredients for sparkling cucumber mint lemonade on abstract light pink background.
    • Cucumber – Choose fresh, firm cucumbers with a vibrant green color. English cucumbers are a great option because they have fewer seeds and a mild flavor.
    • Limes – Opt for juicy and aromatic limes. If you want to use the zest as well, choose organic limes.
    • Mint – Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. Peppermint or spearmint varieties work well.
    • Agave syrup – Agave syrup dissolves easily and imparts a mild sweetness to the lemonade. Adjust the amount to your taste preferences.
    • Sparkling water – Choose high-quality sparkling water or soda water.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Tips & substitutions

    • Chill the ingredients – For the most refreshing experience, chill the cucumbers, limes, and sparkling water before mixing. Also, add ice cubes for the drink to keep it cool on hot summer days.
    • Sweetener options – You can use other natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Adjust the quantity to taste.
    • Sparkling or still? – For a still version of the lemonade, use plain water instead of sparkling water.
    • Try other herbs – Substitute the mint with basil or thyme for a different herbaceous note in the lemonade.
    • Cucumber varieties – While English cucumbers work best, you can also use other varieties. Remove the seeds if they are large and tough.

    Step 3: Add the mint leaves to the puree and blend briefly to incorporate the mint flavor. Avoid over-blending to prevent the mint from becoming bitter. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.

    Step 4: Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cucumber mixture into each glass, filling it with about one-third. Top each glass with sparkling water and serve.

    Expert tip

    To achieve the ultimate refreshment, freeze some of the sparkling water into ice cubes. It prevents dilution as the ice melts and ensures the sparkling cucumber mint lemonade remains perfectly bubbly.

    What to serve with cucumber lemonade

    Here are some ideas for what to serve alongside the cucumber mint lemonade:

    • Fresh salads – Consider this smoked salmon cucumber salad with lemon herb vinaigrette dressing or roasted red pepper salad for a great combination.
    • Grilled vegetables – Grilled or roasted vegetables like these air fryer roasted carrots make a great side dish to the lemonade. The flavors will complement the smokiness of the grilled veggies.
    • Sandwiches or wraps – Opt for light sandwiches or wraps like these harissa chicken tortilla wraps to refresh after a spicy bite.
    • Crispy appetizers – Offer crispy appetizers like these sardines on toast with tomato and red onion. The citrusy notes of the lemonade can cut through the richness of these dishes.
    • Light pasta – A pasta with fresh vegetables like this oven-roasted cherry tomato pasta provides a satisfying balance to the lemonade.
    • Herb-infused dips – Prepare herb-infused dips like this vegan rosemary white bean dip, Moroccan spices hummus, or vegan Thai basil pesto to serve with vegetable sticks or easy homemade pita chips.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use lemons instead of limes?

    Yes, you can use lemons instead of limes. The lemony tang will also pair well with the other flavors in the drink.

    Can I use regular still water instead of sparkling water?

    Yes, you can use still water if you prefer a non-carbonated version. Sparkling water adds a unique element, but the lemonade will still taste great without it.

    Can I make this cucumber mint lemonade ahead of time?

    While this refreshing lemonade is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the cucumber-mint base ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Add the sparkling water and ice just before serving to maintain the bubbly texture.
