Mocktail: Quick Snack Cucumber Frozen Mojito

Our cute snacking cucumbers also make for a wonderful mocktail. This is a perfect summer refresher that serves two, but the recipe can easily be adjusted to make a pitcher for a larger group, depending on how many Quick Snack Cucumbers you harvest. With harmonizing flavors that play nicely together, it’s a fun and refreshing drink to enjoy with family and friends throughout the season.

INGREDIENTS

• About 4 Quick Snack cucumbers (sliced)
• 10 mint leaves
• 1/3 cup lime juice (about two limes)
• 1/2 cup club soda
• 2 cups crushed ice
• 4 Tbsp honey or 1/3 cup sugar as a sweetener

PREPARATION

Wash and slice cucumbers with the skin on. Quick Snack Cucumbers have thin skin that can easily be enjoyed without worrying about having to peel it. Also, if your mint leaves are from the store or freshly picked from the garden (we use fresh spearmint), be sure to give them a quick rinse under a faucet.

DIRECTIONS

• In a blender, add 1 cup of crushed ice along with the sliced cucumbers, mint leaves, lime juice, sweetener, and club soda.
• Blend on high until everything is smooth.
• Pour evenly in 2 glasses.
• Serve with a wheel of Quick Snack cucumber and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!
