Make this vegan drink in just 5 minutes and sip on it the whole day! But wait cucumber in a lemonade?? Try it for yourself and you will know how good this combo is! It’s a fun and welcoming twist to the regular lemonade. I saw this drink on a bar menu when I was on a girl’s night out. It intrigued me immediately. I had to try this! This drink is a spin-off of the Indian lemonade as known as Nimbu Paani. Nimbu means lemon in Hindi and pani means water. This drink was our savior back in India, especially in summer. Every house would make it fresh nearly every day and all would quench their thirst with this cool drink. My mom would make it with fresh lemons, sugar, salt, and water. A very basic recipe that would be ready within seconds and be 100% delicious. We would look forward to coming home after playing in the morning sun to a chilled glass of lemonade. Cucumber Lemonade flavored with jalapeno and mint is the perfect healthy refreshment for warm days and summer parties! It brings a certain freshness and coolness to this lemonade. I was just glad that I tried this drink and then kept sipping on it all throughout the day. It was working like wine for me.
Lemon juice - You can either use store-bought lemon juice or freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice. Mint - This gives this lemonade a refreshing flavor and color. It also adds a delicious herbal flavor. Jalapeno - The hot jalapeno gives this drink a kick and an extra zing. That tingling sensation you will feel when you take a sip of this drink is the jalapeno talking! Black Salt - It’s a cooling spice, that helps to lower the body heat. Lots of Indian summer recipes have this as a key ingredient for this very reason. Sugar or simple syrup and soda are optional. Use if needed. Pro Tip - Serve this non-alcoholic drink for your house party on St. Patrick’s Day! Convert this to a fun cocktail by adding some vodka or tequila. You can also throw in some cucumber, lemon, and jalapeno slices to make this lemonade more visually appealing. Straining is optional. Strain if you like your drink to be clear and smooth. Always serve this mint cucumber lemon water chilled. Like this recipe? Please show your love by leaving a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟rating below!
