Frozen Cucumber Blueberry Lemonade (with or without booze)

Happy second week of SPRING, y’all! Treat yourself to some porch-sitting and a boozy cucumber blueberry lemonade!

Treat yourself to some porch-sitting and a boozy cucumber blueberry lemonade!

This recipe calls for cucumber vodka, and I used the bottle that Prairie Spirits sent me. You can see the first recipe that I made with my cucumber vodka here. Don’t worry if you can’t find cucumber vodka at the store! I have a recipe to make your own, and there’s even a booze-free option if you want the cucumber-blueberry goodness without the alcohol.

When I first started working on this recipe, I was going to make the cucumber vodka optional, but after adjusting and tasting, I just can’t do it. Cucumber and blueberry might sound like a weird combination, but it’s almost shockingly refreshing. I highly recommend hunting down or making cucumber vodka for your frozen blueberry lemonade adventures. So good!

If you can’t find cucumber vodka (or want to make a non-boozy version), here’s how to make your own:

Homemade Cucumber Vodka (or water)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups vodka or water

Method

  1. Combine the cucumber and vodka or water in a glass jar with a lid, and stash it in the fridge overnight.
  2. The next day, strain the liquid into a permanent container and toss the cucumber bits into the compost bin.

Frozen Cucumber Blueberry Lemonade

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 ounces cucumber vodka (or cucumber water)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup ice
  • soda water

Method

  1. Put the blueberries, lemon juice, sweetener, vodka, and ice in your blender and puree until smooth.
  2. Pour your frozen blueberry lemonade into a pint glass and top off with soda water. Give it a stir, and serve.

    This sounds delicious – and while it’s still cold here, the sun’s out and that’s reason to celebrate with this!

    I’ve never tried cucumber in a drink before. This sounds delicious! Just water for me though. :)

    It doesn’t look like we’ll be sitting on the porch anytime soon, but we can sip our drinks in front of the fire until the time is right.

    I LOVE anything with a blueberry and lemon combination, and though I’ve never tried cucumber with it, I can totally see how it would work. Thanks for the suggestion! This drink sounds amazing.
