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

I recently was recommended the cucumber mint lemonade while dining out, so searched for a recipe on line. Just made it and am enjoying the first glass over ice. Yummy and refreshing on a hot summer day!
