Low-Carb Cucumber Lime Cooler

I love cucumber water and homemade limeade. But what if you could combine those two and make a delicious non-alcoholic summer beverage?

This recipe takes your regular limeade to a whole new level because it's packed full of flavour. It's infused with cucumber, fresh mint and ginger. Best of all, it's sugar free and completely keto-friendly!

Whether you struggle with keto-flu or need a healthy sports drink, it's easy to convert this tasty recipe into an electrolyte drink. Simply add some magnesium, potassium and sodium like I did in my Keto Electrolyte Drink!

Step-by-step

1. To make the cucumber-lime concentrate, you'll need cucumber, limes, ginger, fresh mint, sweetener and filtered water.

   

2. Juice the limes (you'll need 3-4 limes). Roughly chop the cucumber and slice the ginger. Place everything in a blender and add the fresh mint, low-carb sweetener and filtered water.

   

3. Blend until smooth, for about 15 seconds.

   

4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag. Discard the pulp.

   

5. Pour in a bottle and refrigerate or serve immediately. You should get about ³/₄ L (3 cups) of the cucumber-lime concentrate.

   

6. To serve, place 2-4 ice cubes into a glass. Add ¹/₂ cup of the cucumber-lime concentrate and top with 1 cup (240 ml) of club soda. Add mint, slices of cucumber and lemon.
