This has become my absolute favorite beverage of all time. It's incredibly refreshing and delicious. Just remember to cool it before enjoying or load it up with plenty of ice.

This beverage is fantastic for staying hydrated in the dry desert climate. I decided to double the recipe and make a gallon of it, sweetening it with monkfruit and adding a hint of lemon juice. The result was absolutely delightful - a truly divine drink.

Lovely flavors, especially refreshing with ice. The cucumber adds a nice pulpy texture, though I found it necessary to add a touch more sweetener than recommended. After straining out some of the pulp, the flavor improved even more. I'll definitely be making this again. Thank you!

This drink is a tasty and revitalizing option to increase your daily water intake! I believe even those who don't enjoy cucumber on its own will appreciate this. I opted for stevia over Splenda and it turned out great.

I didn't peel the cucumbers and the dish turned out amazing! This will definitely be a must-have in my fridge throughout the summer.

The taste was overwhelmingly sour and the abundance of lime was off-putting for my family.

No need for sweetener, try using soda water for a refreshing spritzer flavor.

The recipe makes a gallon of this delightful drink. You may want to adjust the amount of Splenda to suit your taste, but it tastes amazing!
