CUCUMBER LIMEADE
The first time I had a beverage with cucumber in it was at a spa several years ago. Simple thinly-sliced cucumber rounds in clean iced water... and it was heaven! (Ok, so the lovely, relaxing spa environment didn't hurt.) This slightly "enhanced" version is from Martha Stewart. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste. I found it needed significantly more than the original recipe's call for the juice of one lime (I'm a citrus-head), but once I got it right, it was perfect! I grabbed a book and melted into the hammock out back while sipping this truly refreshing beverage.

CUCUMBER STRAWBERRY LIMEADE
Since I tried cucumber juice I have been a fan. And I recently tried a cucumber lemonade that was very good! For me I am more of a limeade fan. So I came up with this refreshing drink. Very refreshing!!! Add a splash of club soda or lemon lime soda and you have a great spritzer!

Tips:
- Choose ripe cucumbers for the best flavor. Look for cucumbers that are deep green in color and have firm skin.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. You can also use bottled lime juice, but fresh lime juice will give your cucumber limeade a more vibrant flavor.
- Add a sweetener to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar. If you are using a sugar-free sweetener, be sure to taste the limeade before adding more, as sugar-free sweeteners can be very sweet.
- Chill the cucumber limeade before serving. This will make it more refreshing and delicious.
- Garnish the cucumber limeade with a slice of cucumber or a lime wedge. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.
