Cucumber and Lemon Drink
by Tarla Dalal
A true summer cooler, this Cucumber and Lemon Drink is like a rejuvenating spa visit for your cells! The mild flavour of cucumber together with the peppy taste of mint, the tang of lemon and the tingle of soda make this a really refreshing drink.
A pinch of salt helps to highlight all the other flavours. Keep the Sprite really chilled when you make this recipe, so that the mixed drink will also be cool. You cannot chill this after preparation because the Sprite will lose its fizz. So, it is very important that the Sprite should be super chill!
