Game Plan:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1½ cups white sugar
  • 2 cucumber, sliced
  • ½ lemon juice
  • 1 cup of club soda

Execution:

  1. Make a simple syrup by heating water and sugar in a saucepan until sugar has dissolved.
  2. Blend cucumber slices in a blender or food processor into a pulp.
  3. Pour the cucumber pulp into a fine mesh strainer place over a bowl to catch the liquid; allow to sit until you have about 2/3 cup of liquid from the cucumber, about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir the simple syrup, cucumber liquid, and lemon juice together in a pitcher. Serve cold.
