This drink is a healthy low-calorie recipe that has so many layers of flavors, if you make this for company, your guests will be impressed by your mixologist skills.

What Type of Cucumbers are Used in Cucumber Lemonade?

I like to use English cucumbers because they have fewer seeds, but if those aren’t available to you, a typical cucumber will do.

What Type of Alcohol is Used?

For the alcohol, Hendricks Gin has a nice rose and cucumber flavor to it already and works very well in this cucumber fizz recipe! The calories in Hendricks Gin are relatively low as well if you’re watching your calorie intake. Hendricks Gin has under 100 calories in a measure of gin. A classic gin and tonic cocktail is usually about 150 calories.

How to Make a Cucumber Lemonade Fizz

Start by adding peeled and roughly chopped cucumbers, fresh mint leaves, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rosemary, and dark agave nectar to your food processor. Blend until liquid consistency.

Then, place a strainer over a large bowl (or a serving pitcher) and pour the cucumber lemonade mixture over the strainer, discarding the pulp-like material the strainer catches.

Then just fill the glasses with ice and pour 1/2 cup of club soda in each glass, add in the desired amount of gin (we used 2 ounces per cocktail), top with lemonade cucumber mixture until the glass is full.

Don’t forget to garnish with a slice of fresh cucumber, sprig of rosemary, and enjoy!
