Hydrating Lemon Cucumber Ginger Spiked Drink (Pitcher Recipe)

First, prepare the Lemon Ginger Mix:

Begin by peeling your lemons and adding them to your juicer along with your cucumber. Once juiced, strain the mixture to ensure no pulp and add it to an airtight container. This mix can be saved for up to 3 days. If using a blender instead of a juicer, follow all directions but add 2 cups of water to your blender to ensure a smooth blend.

Now, assemble the Pitcher:

In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of the prepared lemon/cucumber mix, 1 cup of vodka or neutral liquor, 1 cup of coconut water, 1/2 cup of sugar or agave, and 1/4 cup of ginger juice. Add 5-6 mint stems to the pitcher. Stir all ingredients well. Top with sparkling water to taste just before serving.
