Cucumber Mint Cocktail

Since green smoothies have become all the rage, who is to say the same trend can’t translate to cocktails? This cocktail is all the things you would want in a summer cocktail: light, refreshing, and icy cold. Cucumbers have a very mild flavor that blends well with the fresh mint, lime, and ginger. Another selling point for this cocktail? It only has 150 kcals per serving and less than 2 grams of sugar. A great option for those looking for a lighter drink that isn’t loaded down with lots of sugary syrup. 

I have a feeling I’ll be making this cocktail on repeat over the summer! Leave out the gin to make an equally refreshing mocktail.
