Ultra-Refreshing Cucumber-Mint Spritzers Recipe Will Be Your Go-to Summer Sip
Our spa-inspired drink is perfect for cooling off on warm summer evenings
Summer is the ideal time to kick back and relax with a thirst-quenching drink. And here at Womanβs World weβre always looking for fun ways to put a spin on a classic. Thatβs what inspired us to come up with this Cucumber-Mint Spritzers recipe.
Agua fresca (literally βfresh waterβ) is a traditional Mexican beverage that has been around for ages. Itβs simply water infused with fruit, vegetables or flowers. And today this delightful sip is sometimes served at spas. We decided to kick it up a notch and created this adults-only twist youβll want to imbibe all summer long. Plus, itβs super-easy to whiz up in the blender. Cucumbers and mint make a cool combination. We stir in vodka, then for a zingy finish, splash in ginger liqueur. Itβs deliciously boozy! Just one sip and we promise, youβll be hooked! Prefer a mocktail version? Simply sub in ginger beer for the liquors. Either way, whip up a batch then send us a comment below.
