    Cucumber Watermelon Cooler

    Jump to Recipe

    Cucumber watermelon cooler is a refreshing and hydrating summer cooler.  Low In calories and rich in vitamins & minerals, it is a healthy summer drink.

    Watermelon is a summer fruit with high water content and low calories.  It is rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.  Cucumber is also high in water content with many minerals and vitamins.  Since both are high in water content, cucumber watermelon cooler is a great summer drink.  

    How to prepare this summer cooler?

    Take watermelon and cucumber pieces in a blender and blend it well.  Strain the juice if necessary and serve it with some ice.  Use unpeeled cucumber and I prefer organic cucumber when consuming it with the skin.   

    This is a kids friendly cooler and for adults, add some gin or vodka. For a mocktail, add some Sprite or soda of your choice.

    Can you use other fruits?

    Substitute watermelon with cantaloupe.  Cantaloupe is also high in water content, rich in vitamins and minerals.  Honeydew will also make a good substitute though I have not used it in this cooler.  

    Kids Delight Summer Cooler

    Cucumber watermelon cooler is a virgin summer cooler and a great juice for children this summer season.  If your children are picky like my nephew, use less cucumber to retain the red color of watermelon and disguise cucumber flavor.  For a rich watermelon beverage try watermelon melody.

      I have tried watermelon with lemon in juice but never with cucumber. Though I recently made watermelon gazpacho with cucumber and it was amazing. So I know for sure this must have been amazing.

      I have never combined these two in a drink. Sounds refreshing enough and waiting really for some sunny days to try it out.
