Cucumber Mint Lemonade

Lemon and mint form a great pair and both make a perfect drink when combined. What would happen if I add another cool ingredient to it? Being a season of summer fruits, I decided to make few drinks and this time I add cucumber to this drink to make it one of the perfect summer drinks. All you need is few slices of cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice and few minutes to prepare it. These ingredients blend well to make a perfect drink when ice cubes are added.
