cucumber mint lemonade . . . a Spring & Summer mocktail

Have you ever sipped on a tall glass of cucumber mint lemonade brimming with sliced cucumbers and lemons . . . and a tall sprig of fresh mint!?

It's so incredibly refreshing and delicious . . . a pretty drink to enjoy Spring through the hot days of Summer.

We hosted a mocktail bar at our oldest son's 21st birthday last month. Since it was my first time hosting one, I researched and researched . . . and then sampled . . . so many mocktail recipes!

There were two party favorites, and this was one of them.

I think what makes these kinds of drinks so fun and unique is that the pitcher and glasses are FULL of fresh and beautiful ingredients . . . making them feel (and look) special!

Although I took a shortcut and used Simply Lemonade as my base (which by the way is an AMAZING all natural lemonade), I added lots of fresh sliced cucumbers and lemons for additional FRESH flavors.

Oh, and I add a secret ingredient . . . LIME slices! The lime cuts through the tart lemon . . . rounding out all the flavors.

And because I add a tall sprig of mint to each glass, its heavenly fresh scent is the first thing you smell when you sip this refreshing mocktail. Ahhhh!
