CUCUMBER LEMONADE

After a fun visit to the nearly iconic LA eatery, Lemonade, I couldn't wait to make a homemade version of their cucumber lemonade. It might sound tricky, but it's actually just your classic lemonade recipe with pureed cucumber (without skins) turned juice! It's a fun twist on the familiar flavor with some added health benefits!
