Had this delicious drink at Grand Lux and I want to make it at home — thanks for sharing 👍😁
I made a batch of this for my sons cricket club. It was a massive hit with all the kids.
I wasn’t sure if the cucumber would put them off but it was a winner.
I used sparkling water and regular white sugar and it this was such a great with the kids.
Thank you for sharing
What a cool and refreshing beverage. Perfect for summer and BBQs. I prefer the sparkling water.
