Cucumber Rose Cooler
Aug 08, 2025 12:16 PM
Okay, let’s just say it. Sometimes plain water is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Enter: And sometimes you just need some even more hydrating, especially in the summer. That’s why I whipped up this Cucumber Rose Cooler. And to me, it feels like a spa day in a glass, minus the overpriced robe. It’s refreshing, it feels kind of fancy, and it’s packed with all kinds of health benefits. And (bonus) it’s stupid easy to make. Like, so easy I almost feel bad calling it a recipe. Almost.
The Health Benefits of the Cucumber Rose Cooler
Cucumber: Super hydrating. Loaded with antioxidants. Easy on the digestive system.
Lime: High in vitamin C. Great for your skin, AND it helps balance your internal pH.
Mint: This unassuming lil herb has digestion-aiding super powers.
Honey/Maple Syrup: These are natural sweeteners that also offer trace minerals, while also allowing you to avoid artificial sweeteners.
Rose water: It’s anti-inflammatory and it may even help to calm stress.
