Is anyone surprised that we have another cucumber drink? We just so happen to have a ton of cucumbers lately. So when I asked Matt if he would like a cucumbery-minty-frozen-drink-treat, his eyes lit up!
I couldn’t figure out what to call it either since when I initially made it, I wanted a boozy frozen treat to eat with a spoon. But you can just add a little water (or a tad more alcohol) to make it a frozen cocktail. So a Cucumber Mint Freeze it is!
The Cucumber Mint Freeze comes together so easily — you just need a blender. This is the blender we have and we love it! I also split it into two steps because I wanted to make sure the mint leaves are obliterated so there aren’t any big chunks of mint leaves & cucumber being consumed. And make sure to peel your cucumber before blending it as the green skin would make the drink too bitter.
I used a good silver tequila, Patron, but you can definitely try vodka. We’ve tried this cucumber vodka before and it’s smooth and tasty. I think a white rum would be great so it’s kind of like a frozen mojito. Or don’t add the alcohol at all and everyone can enjoy this refreshing freeze! I let Penny try it (without the tequila of course!) and she kept asking for, “Mo, mo, mo.”
An addition of fresh strawberries or watermelon for added fresh flavor would be amazing. Or sub the ice cubes for frozen strawberries or watermelon! It’s super flexible!
This would be perfect to pair with my Instant Pot Crispy Pork Carnitas and Broiled Pineapple Guacamole.
Let me know what alcohol you tried if you added any or if you added any fruit in a comment below. I would love to hear them! You can also drop me a message in my inbox or comment on my instagram.
I’ve also been asked about certain items I’ve posted in my insta-stories so I added a shop page on here. I’ll keep adding to it whenever I can, it’s been tough with a toddler these days… as she sits on my lap while she sings and eats all the dried mango! If you want me to link anything in there, leave a comment below or DM me on instagram, I’m happy to help!
Happy blending friends!
