I love cucumber water and homemade limeade. But what if you could combine those two and make a delicious non-alcoholic summer beverage?
This recipe takes your regular limeade to a whole new level because it's packed full of flavour. It's infused with cucumber, fresh mint and ginger. Best of all, it's sugar free and completely keto-friendly!
Whether you struggle with keto-flu or need a healthy sports drink, it's easy to convert this tasty recipe into an electrolyte drink. Simply add some magnesium, potassium and sodium like I did in my Keto Electrolyte Drink!

Cooler concentrate:
- 1 1/2 cucumber (300 g/ 10.6 oz)

To serve:
- 1 bottle sparkling water - club soda or still water (1.5 L)
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced (100 g/ 3.5 oz)

Instructions
- To make the cucumber-lime concentrate, you'll need cucumber, limes, ginger, fresh mint, sweetener and filtered water.
- Juice the limes (you'll need 3-4 limes). Roughly chop the cucumber and slice the ginger. Place everything in a blender and add the fresh mint, low-carb sweetener and filtered water.
- Blend until smooth, for about 15 seconds.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag. Discard the pulp.
- Pour in a bottle and refrigerate or serve immediately. You should get about 3/4 L (3 cups) of the cucumber-lime concentrate.
- To serve, place 2-4 ice cubes into a glass. Add 1/2 cup of the cucumber-lime concentrate and top with 1 cup (240 ml) of club soda. Add mint, slices of cucumber and lemon.
