Excellent, excellent recipe! Of course I doubled the amount of sweetener.
So refreshing and super easy!! The trick is to strain, strain, strain!
Family really didn’t like it, way too sour with too much lime
No sweetener… use soda water for a spritzer taste
This is a wonderful healthy beverage. It’s good for hydration in this dry desert weather. I doubled the recipe to make a gallon, used monkfruit sweetener and added a splash of lemon juice. Absolutely divine
It was so good and refreshing.
I used lemon instead of lime but it turned out great!
I did not peel the cucumbers and it was still great! I will make this a regular staple in my fridge this summer.
The ingredients are enough for a gallon. You do need to add more splenda to taste. It taste wonderful!
Excellent, but I used 1/2 cup real sugar, 2 large cucumbers, and juice of 2 limes. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Loved it, refreshing and tasty. Strain if you’re not into the pulp.
Very refreshing!
Nice flavors, definitely best with ice. It is very pulpy from the cucumber. I had to add a bit more sweetner than called for. I ended up straining out some of the pulp and liked it even better. I will make this again, thanks!
The only change I made was to use a small amount of grade B maple syrup instead of sugar. We had an open house for friends who were in town from overseas. I made a large quantity of this and everyone really loved it! Had a small amount left and overnight, it thickened up so I added some water and lime juice and drank the last of it myself. 🙂
I made this for a party for a non-alcolic base that people could add tequila to if they wanted. It was very popular – very fresh tasting and not sweet. I ran out of limes the second batch and used limeade – also very good. Be mindful to thoroughly puree the cucumber or it is a bit chewy.
I made this as a fermented soda, using 1/2 cup of ginger bug to the gallon of cucumber lime juice , sugar and water. Took 3 days to ferment and get fizzy …. wonderful combo! This will be a favorite in our fridge.
3.19.18 I love cucumber water, and the addition of that lime juice really enhances the flavor. My cucumber was unwaxed, so I didn’t bother to peel it, that’s why the drink in the photo is so green. Since I don’t like things too sweet these days, I left out the sweetener, and enjoyed the tang of that lime. Spent a couple hours working in the yard this morning, and this cucumber limeade over crushed ice really hit the spot.
add alcohol!!
IMO just ok. The adult kids liked it, spiked with gin.
SO refreshing! Very delicious! Mmm.
I really enjoy this recipe. Personally, I like a strong, tart lime flavor so I double the lime juice. Just a word of caution, this wonderful, healthy & refreshing drink is FULL of fiber. You may want to consider using English or Burpless cucumbers.
