    Cucumber Ginger Agua Fresca

    Drinks

    Today we bring you this refreshing Cucumber Ginger Agua Fresca. During our most recent trip to Mexico, Jess and I went to our girl’s beautiful wedding. For the cocktail hour, we noticed green drinks being served at the bar and ran right up to find out what this healthy-looking concoction was. We had to know what this beautiful green machine was.

    Turns out, they had prepared a tasty cucumber mint agua fresca. It was refreshing and light, and everything we needed. Back home, I decided to whip up my own agua fresca rendition. I wanted a more comforting drink so I replaced the mint with ginger, and the results were perfection.

    IMG_1616The cucumber and ginger combo is great and refreshing for an energizing pool-side drink or a comforting spice for those cooler nights.

    This is a super simple recipe that will only take about five minutes from start to finish.  Begin with one large cucumber and cut it into four pieces.  From there, blend it up nicely with your ginger and one cup of water.  You’re going to then strain this blend into a large jar.  Add the last two cups of water and your maple syrup and stir! Easy-peasy! Throw into a pitcher and keep in your refrigerator to enjoy for up to seven days or call all your friends to catch up over an invigorating and healthy drink! Try this out and let us know your favorite way to enjoy! Comment below! xo

      Would honey be a suitable replacement (flavor-wise) for the maple syrup?
