Cucumber Melon Mocktail

I like to drink.

Whoa nelly! Before you have a weird look on your face – bear with me.

I wake up every morning and have to have my cup of chai tea, most of the time followed by a 2nd or a cup of coffee. Then as my days goes on I probably have 2-3 glasses of flavored water, then a glass of milk with lunch followed by more water then more milk then probably a glass of wine in the evening. And if it’s the weekend a juice will fall in there somewhere.

So you see I like to drink.

Back in the fall my friend Amelia made a fall mocktail when our friend Lindsay was pregnant and I was like how thoughtful of her. I mean I love water but there is nothing worse than going to a party and the only choices are soda and water when you’re pregnant. And trust me I would know – the last 3 years I have been pregnant or breastfeeding (crazy huh?). So when we had a big cookout last weekend I knew I could experiment on my friends Abby and Mallie who are both pregnant. Luckily the recipe testing was a success!

First when I tried to decide what to name this mocktail I tossed around Watermelon, Honeydew melon, and Cucumber Mocktail, Melon Cucumber Lime Mocktail, the list goes on. But then I had a flashback to my favorite Bath and Body Works Lotion as a teenager – Cucumber Melon. Now I never tasted the lotion (obviously) but this mocktail definitely smells as good as the lotion. It’s refreshing and will be your new go to drink for the summer!
