CUCUMBER MINT LEMONADE
Delicious and Refreshing. My aunt makes a cucumber lemonade but I upped it by adding fresh mint during the puree process. You can add vodka if you want an adult beverage. You can also use fresh lemons (making fresh lemonade with the lemon juice, sugar and water). For simplicity I'm submitting this using already made lemonade. Diabetic Friendly: use fresh squeezed lemon juice and use Truvia or Stevia to sweeten.

Steps:
- Make the mint simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and roughly chopped mint leaves. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mint is fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Store remaining mint syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the cucumber rounds, lime juice, whole mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the mint simple syrup. Muddle for 1-2 minutes, until the cucumber and mint have released their flavors, but are not mushy.
- Pour in the vodka and fill the shaker halfway with ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Fill a Collins glass with ice and pour in the strained cocktail.
- Garnish with the cucumber ribbons.
- Enjoy!
