Portable Mixed Drinks: Lemon Cucumber Refresher
Portable Mixed Drinks: Lemon Cucumber Refresher – https://lan.dxy.mybluehost.me/?p=389
The end of May usually starts our camping season, yay!! In light of this, I thought I would share my favorite camping/ boating drink tip. I’m always looking for healthier drinks to pack in the cooler however my options are limited. My husband joked about buying me a mason jar sippy cup since I seem to always spill my drink in our boat. That gave me an idea, make ahead drinks in mason jars which conveniently have lids! Perfect!
The drink options are endless. The last time we went to the lake I made a skinny margarita and a lemon cucumber refresher as we call it. It’s a very simple drink. Vodka, fruit and seltzer. This post isn’t a “specialty recipe” like usual. I just wanted to show you that you can make whatever mixed drink you like and take it with you. This is perfect for picnics, bbqs, camping or wherever you would like to take along some delicious and skinny beverages!
Lemon Cucumber Refresher
Ingredients
- ½ lemon juiced
- 4 slices of cucumber
- 1 ½ vodka
- Seltzer water
Instructions
- Juice ½ a lemon into a mason jar and drop in the slices. Drop in 4 slices of cucumber next. Pour in vodka and fill the rest of the jar with seltzer water. Put in the fridge until you are ready to leave so they are cold. Do not add in ice as it will water it down.
You can make any drink of choice that you want! Scroll through past recipes for ideas (or use upcoming ones) to make and take with you! Since these jars seal tight, they will hold the carbonation from the seltzer water just fine. I hope this is a game changer for you like it has been for us!
