Zesty Colorful Party Drink
Cucumber and mint cooler, a zesty drink that can be your next favorite party drink.
I remember having this drink in a restaurant. Loved the taste and tried recreating it at home. It might not be the exact same what they served in the restaurant, but it was a close match. I once made it for a gathering too, it came out good.
This colorful drink takes just minutes to make and can be tailored to suit your tastebuds. I have made this drink with plain soda and also sparkling water, personally i prefer the sparkling water but soda too adds a lot of fun to the drink.
There is always a trial and error in balancing the taste of the drink, I prefer my drinks to have a bit strong taste of lime/lemon. Some might not prefer it that way. If you are in the later half, then start with half the quantity of lemon juice given here and increase accordingly.
Ingredients to make mint cooler
- Fresh cucumbers , I have used fresh cucumbers for making this cooler
- Mint leaves , have used fresh mint leaves in the recipe
- Lemon/lime, I personally prefer lime, no seeds 😁
- Liquid : I have made this fresh mint drink with both soda and sparkling water. They taste great with both of them.
- Sweetener ; I have used sugar in this recipe, you go with honey, Agave etc whatever suits your taste.
- Flavors: a pinch of black salt, oomphs the drink, you can also use normal salt.
- Garnishes : mint leaves , lemon wedges.

Cucumber Mint cooler makes for a wonderful party drink. Just as you, I also love to have the dash of black salt in my mocktails. An apt drink for the upcoming celebrations.

Priya now I know what to do with extra cucumber that sometimes I buy when on offer. Such a healthy, cooling and refreshing drink. I would love to add lemon flavoured sparkling water to it.
