The voluptuous, sweet flavor that comes from vigorously-muddled cucumber is so often overlooked! Our cucumber limeade cocktail recipe is the quintessential balance of sweet and sour—perfectly refreshing and crisp (with the help of a little mint) for a warm summer day.

This cocktail is perfect for a crowd, so we reserved one cucumber for muddling and one for garnish. It’s totally up to you if you want to leave the skins on or off. Either way, the results are fantastic.

We enlisted the use of lemon-lime soda in the test kitchen; however, you can easily swap it for fizzy water to create a skinnier version. If you opt for sparkling water, a little stevia or any imitation sugar of preference will give this drink a little zing!
