Ingredients
- 1 tray ice
- 2 liters diet lemon-lime soda
- 12 ounces limeade (1 can, frozen)
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- Fresh lime wedges (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Add ice: In a large pitcher or bowl, add as much ice as you desire. Remember, the more ice you use, the more the punch will dilute as the ice melts.
- Combine liquids: Pour in the 2 liters of diet lemon-lime soda and add the frozen 12-ounce limeade can directly to the pitcher.
- Add cucumbers and limes: Add all the thinly sliced cucumbers along with fresh lime wedges. You can reserve some lime wedges to garnish individual glasses if preferred.
- Mix well: Stir the mixture until the frozen limeade melts and the flavors begin to combine.
- Allow to chill and infuse: For a light cucumber flavor, serve immediately. For a stronger cucumber taste, refrigerate the punch for 1 to 2 hours before serving. This makes the punch ideal to prepare ahead of time for gatherings.
Notes
- The punch can be made in advance and refrigerated to enhance flavors.
- Using diet lemon-lime soda keeps the beverage lower in calories.
- Adjust the amount of ice based on desired dilution and temperature.
- Garnish individual glasses with fresh lime wedges for presentation.
- Thinly slicing the cucumber helps extract more flavor quickly.
