One of my favorite cocktail combinations is anything with cucumber and gin! Today I'm here to share a delicious and refreshing recipe for cucumber lemonade. It's tart, semi-sweet, and super refreshing? You in? I'm in!
Here's the recipe:
Cucumber Gin Lemonade
3 ounces fresh lemon juice
3 ounces fresh cucumber juice
2 ounces gin
2 ounces simple syrup
Club soda
3 ounces fresh cucumber juice
2 ounces gin
2 ounces simple syrup
Club soda
In a tall glass, combine the lemon juice, cucumber juice, gin, and simple syrup. Stir. Add ice and top off with club soda. Taste and add more simple syrup if more sweetness is desired. Garnish with lemon and cucumber slices. Enjoy!
Cheers!! xo. Elsie
PS. I made this recipe (and a few others!) in collaboration with West Elm. They're going to become recipe cards you can pick up in the stores for free soon! Products featured: Bar Cart, Kitchen Towels, Glassware and Krups Infinity Slow Juicer.

Just made this! I recommend peeling the cucumbers before juicing (it’s super easy, just like peeling carrots). I’ve put it in jars and I’m taking it on our spring break trip to Table Rock Lake down in your area! Yay!
This looks amazing!! I need to make this for myself! looks so refreshing!! 🙂 xx

This looks delicious, but I don’t have a juicer! I have a squeezer for my lemons. Is there a way to get cucumber juice with out a juicer???

Oh boy, that looks totally delicious and I guess it is perfect for a special celebrating.. today is the birthday of my very best friend… sadly she needs to stay on this day in hospital! But maybe I can sneak in one of these without alcohol…

Lovely recipe Elsie 🙂 I love a G&T and haven’t thought about adding cucumber juice before but it sounds really refreshing. I will remember this for summer picnics! x
This sounds so FRESH. Can’t wait to try 🙂
I love cucumbers and I love lemonade (well, and gin), so I must give these a try:)
Ahhhh yay! Cucumber to me is the fresh flavor of approaching spring! I’m so glad it’s warming up, finally! Definitely makes me want to have drinks like this! It’ll have to wait till after Lent, though, haha!

This sounds absolutely yummy and refreshing…with or without the alcohol! I’m on the prego boat so sans alcohol will be my only option, but since baby is due in July, I’ll be just in time to try it as a summer treat!
Yum! Looks amazing! xxx

I’m not sure if you have Hendrick’s Gin over there (it’s distilled here in Scotland), but it’s delightful and is fab with a bit of lemon, cucumber and tonic.
In the summer, I also add raspberries and a mint leaf.
About time someone picked up your happy hour recipes, Els – congrats on West Elm!
How is it without gin? Gave up alcohol for Lent and was just telling my fiance that lemonade will be my go-to drink when out with friends while I eschew boulevard wheat.
Cucumber and gin is my FAVORITE. Anytime I see those two on a menu I know what to order- especially if Elderflower is included. 😀
