Back to TopI followed another reviewer's recommendation and finished it with sparkling water. Just delicious! Very refreshing and light. I also appreciate that there is so little added sugar for 8 portions.

Very pleasant and refreshing. Easy to make, BUT, definitely use the blender. My Cuisinart made a mess of it with half draining out on the counter. The Blender worked perfectly, no problem. Would be 4 stars except for the mess.

This is WONDERFUL! I have so many cucumbers this year from my garden. It is a delicious treat and very refreshing. I mixed the base with La Croix and loved it!!

Good versatile beverage. Would recommend finishing it with sparkling water (plain or lime worked well). Also good with gin and vodka. Knocking off one fork as the instructions are poor. Use a blender not a food processor - it overflowed on me.
