Cucumber Lime Cooler
A crisp and refreshing cucumber lime cooler made with fresh cucumber slices, bright lime juice, a touch of honey, and chilled water. Light, hydrating, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy, this drink is ideal for warm days or whenever you need a cooling boost.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 to 5 limes)
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or sugar, adjusted to taste
- 1 to 2 cups ice cubes
- 8 to 10 fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a pitcher and serving glasses in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- In the chilled pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice and honey or sugar. Stir until the sweetener fully dissolves.

Notes
- For a sparkling version, replace cold water with sparkling water just before serving.

- For a smoother texture, blend the cucumber and strain before mixing.
