Aunt Susan’s 2-Ingredient Party Refresher
This easy summer drink is light, icy, and incredibly refreshing. Perfect for garden parties, BBQs, brunches, or hot afternoons — and it only takes 2 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
Optional Add-Ins
- Fresh mint leaves
- Sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the lemonade concentrate according to the can directions and pour into a large pitcher.
- Add the sliced cucumber directly into the pitcher.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the cucumber flavor infuses into the lemonade.
- Serve over ice and garnish with mint or lemon slices if desired.
Extra Refreshing Version
For a bubbly party version, replace part of the water with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda right before serving.
Why Everyone Loves It
The sweet-tart lemonade mixed with cool cucumber creates a crisp spa-style drink that disappears fast at parties. It’s inexpensive, effortless, and tastes like summer in a glass.
Tips
- Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds.
- Freeze cucumber slices ahead of time instead of using ice.
