I made this for a baby shower and it was a hit. Very light and refreshing. A nice change from the over-sugary shower punches I have had. Itsa keeper...

VERY easy recipe for kids to make - my daughter made it and was SOOOO proud of herself. Could have been a touch sweeter for my taste but all in all a tasty treat. Makes a PUNCH BOWL FULL... We ate the cucumbers before storing leftovers in the fridge since other reviews said if left in they turn yuck.

I read all the really great reviews before making this and unfortunately I was really dissapointed. It did not ruin my day, but I will not be making this recipe again. It was drinkable and just o.k. We had lots left over because no one wanted any more.

I haven't tried this actual recipe, but i made a variation of it, and it was REALLY good! i've always thought of a punch as being fizzy.....carbonated, so i decided to modify this recipe. here's what i did: -5 cups sierra mist -1 liter seltzer water -1 11.5 fl.oz. white grape PEACH concentrate Mix all those and float the lemon and half cuc on top. i let it sit like that for a bit and then added about a quart of ice at the last minute. Got lots of compliments. Thanks to whoever posted the original recipe! couldn't have come up with mine if it hadn't been for yours! :-)

Made this punch for a reception of 200+ people. I used canisters of Kool-Aid instead of the packets, but followed everything else exactly. I think I had 200+ compliments. Rumor had it that it was fresh squeezed lemonade and others said it was the best punch they'd ever had. I couldn't keep up making it. It's a keeper!

Everyone loved this, but I can't really give it 5 stars because I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I used real lemonade (a bottle of Simply Lemonade), and added a liter of club soda to cut the sweetness and add some fizz. It was great!

This drink was absolutely wonderful. It did taste a little strong until some of the ice melted, so I'd definitely add the recommended ice (maybe a tad bit more water). Refreshing, healthy, and different! I was surprised at how much flavor half a cucumber would add to the drink!

This was OK, I must admit... I was skeptical to try this, but the idea of a light, summer drink with the addition of cucumber (which I love - the taste AND smell) sounded very refreshing. While I thought this was "OK", my bf (who I didn't expect to care for this anyways) said it smelled and tasted like one of my "girly soaps". I must admit that it DID smell a lot like my freshwater cucumber shower gel.... I liked this, but not nearly enough to ever make again (we have LOTS of leftovers even though I made a half batch). Sorry, not for us, but thanks for sharing such a neat idea!

Yum. I used fresh lemonade instead of sugar-free mix, adjusted the water a bit and used baby cucumbers. Really different, pretty, refreshing, and simple. Thanks for the recipe!

Very disappointing. I thought that since it sounded unique, it would probably be good. It tasted like way-too-sweet lemonade with a tiny hint of cucumber.

This is a great punch. I've even served it at a Bridal Brunch - it went really well with light breakfast foods. Everyone who I've served it to loves it and always wants the recipe.

This punch is fantastic! I made it for a large party and all loved it ages 3-100! (It was a 100th birthday party!) We went thru 6 batches! This is light refershing punch is definately a keeper!! I didn't change a thing. After ther party people were hovered around the empty bowl eating the cucumbers exclaiming how delicious they were after soaking in the punch.

This is wonderful. Very light and refreshing. Another cucumber drink idea is to add slices of cucumber to a glass of ice water... much better than water with lemon.

This was a great refreshing punch. It has to be served immediately. It is not something that you can have around for a few days because the cucumbers tend to take over the entire taste. However, I served it for one of my employee celebrations and my entire team loved it. Use plenty of ice. Great idea!

Well, I am happy to say that *my* day wasn't ruined by this drink... I had it icy cold, and really enjoyed it. It was very refreshing, and the cucumber was delicious. I'll definitely be adding this to the summer drink rotation. Thanks!
