When I was at The Hilton Sandestin Resort for my awesome beach getaway, I fell in love with the water offered in the spa there.
So I decided to make my own.
I picked up this nifty 3 gallon beverage dispenser at Walmart. It has an insert for ice so the beverage stays cold.

I came across water with cucumber at a Sushi resturaunt a couple years ago and started making it at home. However, I am the only one in the house who likes it so instead of making a large container I put one slice of lemon and one slice of cucumber in my glass, add ice and water and enjoy! The same lemon & cucumber slices last me all day long as I refill with ice and water as needed. I drink way more water than I use to!
I’m not big on flavored water so I would not enjoy the drink but I love the pitcher. I love how it has an ice insert to keep it cold! Thank you for the post because now I have to go and buy one!
After seeing your original post a few weeks ago, I started trying to make this. I find that if I pour a couple cups of hot water over the lemons and cucumber and let it sit for 10 minutes before adding cold water, the flavor is stronger. I have been able to totally quit my Crystal Light habit by drinking this. To mix it up a bit, you can also add fresh ginger and/or mint leaves. I’ve been amazed how refreshing it is and how I don’t feel deprived like I do when I’m drinking plain water.
Wow! I can’t wait to try this. My kid have so many allergies that special drinks are rare around here. We can have this.

I’ve totally got to try cucumber in my water, I do water and lemon, or lime, but since my one year has started stealing my water I want to lay of the citrus this sounds great!
As soon as I read this I thought, “Hmmm, I’ve got these ingredients right now.” So, I whipped this up in 2 minutes and within 10 minutes was drinking the most refreshing water I’ve ever tasted! Thanks for the inspiration!
Add a few sprigs of mint if you like mint… it really is amazingly refreshing, and no sugar!
