Froth Cucumber Limeade Recipe

Makes 6 to 8 servings

If cucumbers are left unattended in the garden they can grow longer than expected and result in thicker skins or pithy seeds. If this happens, donโ€™t fret. You can peel the skins and scrape the seeds to make this refreshing cooler, or just grate some whole cucumber and start from scratch. I like to serve it un-strained because the cucumber adds body to this fun beverage. For an adult version, spike it with gin, vodka, or mezcal.

Ingredients

1 cup cucumber seeds and attached flesh, or grated whole cucumber

1ยฝ cups fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

ยฝ cup agave syrup

1 large handful fresh tender herb leaves, such as basil, tarragon, or mint, plus more whole sprigs for garnish

Directions

Place the cucumber, lime juice, salt, agave, and herbs in a blender. Add 1 cup of ice and 1 cup of water and blend on high speed until completely smooth and frothy, about 1 minute. Pour the limeade into glasses filled with ice. Place an herb sprig in each glass to garnish.
