Spring Party Planning: Beautiful Beverage
Spring has sprung! Let the outdoors party planning commence!
It's time to start building up your repertoire of Spring-y drinks, and what's more fitting for Spring than the gorgeous green of cucumbers?
Cucumber Water is a favorite healthy drink of mine that would be ideal for outdoor functions and matches the Spring color motif perfectly.
All you'll need to prepare this beautiful green beverage is a cucumber, the juice of half a lemon, crushed ice and water.
- Slice your cucumbers thin, leaving the peels on
- Fill pint glasses with a scoop of ice and water
- Drop three or four cucumber slices in each glass
- Top each drink off with a few drops of lemon juice
- Serve immediately (preferably in a sunny garden or backyard)
There! Could that be more simple? I didn't think so.
My favorite thing about this drink is aesthetic. The vivid green of the cucumbers brings to mind Spring and sun, and their sweet taste is complemented perfectly by the tart lemon juice.
If you're planning a Spring brunch or luncheon, you might even throw together a few mini cucumber sandwiches and make a light meal of them!
Cheers to Spring!
Enjoy Planning.
