Notes

Storage:
  • Best enjoyed fresh. Like, pour-it-and-drink-it fresh.
  • Holding it? Keep it in the fridge or up to 24 hours. It separates as it sits, so stir well before serving.
  • Add the lemon and mint right before serving for the brightest flavour and prettiest look.
  • Make-ahead tip: blend and strain the cucumber juice early, then build the jug when people show up.
