Slim Down Lifestyle

Now, say hello to your new favorite summer drink: a Sparkling Cucumber-Mint Lemonade cocktail. It's so easy to make that you can stir up a batch to share in under 10 minutes. Just combine cucumber juice with Tito's Handmade Vodka, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and mint leaves in a large pitcher, and stir until the crystals have dissolved. If you like your lemonade more tart than sweet, feel free to add more to taste—you do you. Organic raw cane sugar is our sweetener of choice here, but you can substitute whatever sweetener you prefer; coconut sugar or honey also work great.

Batched in a pitcher and topped with seltzer to taste, the result is a mean, green, crowd-pleasing cocktail that's perfect for just about any summer occasion, from barbecues to beach days. Served with a cucumber slice or a thin cucumber ribbon (if you're feeling fancy), it's just as refreshing and as a cold dip in the ocean or a seat directly in front of the AC.
