Sparkling Cucumber Lemonade

Recipe: Sparkling Cucumber Lemonade (serves one)

• 1.5 oz. lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 5 seedless cucumber slices, thinly sliced
• 1/2 oz. maple syrup
• 4 oz. club soda
• Lemon and cucumber slices for garnish

Muddle cucumber slices together with lemon juice and maple syrup in the bottom of a rocks glass. Add ice and club soda. Stir. Garnish with a lemon slice and a cucumber slice.

This is a nice twist on the typical lemonade, perfect for an Independence Day cook-out. If you prefer your lemonade non-sparkling or don’t have club soda, just use water.
