If you’re looking for a good mocktail or a refreshing beverage, this Spicy Cucumber Limeade recipe might be of interest to you!
It’s a nice palette cleanser and totally refreshing on a hot summer day. It’s sweet and slightly spicy (although add more spice if you desire!). It’s a great way to put those cucumbers that are hanging out in the back of your produce drawer to good use!
Ingredients involved:
Get out your blender
Add ice and blitz!
Look! Spicy Cucumber Limeade! No need to strain. Look at that bright green!
Pour some of the spicy cucumber limeade into a glass of ice. Top with tajin!
Cucumber garnish because we are fancy!
Welcome to the rotation. I almost always have cucumbers and limes to use so you will be useful, for sure.
You’re my new favorite drink this summer!
