Citrus Cucumber Cooler Recipe (Ready in 5 Minutes!)
This drink is my secret weapon for those hot, sluggish afternoons when water just isn’t cutting it. I threw it together once with cucumber slices, some leftover citrus, and a few sprigs of mint — and wow. It instantly felt like spa day in a glass. Now I make a batch every week in the summer, and even the kids ask for “fancy cucumber water.”
