Lime-Cucumber Soda

The Tap-a-Draft mini-keg system has provided some nice options for storing and serving my beers but it has also made it possible to make soda without using sugar and bread yeast in recycled 2L bottles.

A friend of mine recently had a Mr. Q. Cumber Soda, and let us all have a try. Other than being way too sweet, cucumber makes an awesome soda! So I decided to make a lime-cucumber flavored soda water in my mini-keg system...

1/2 hothouse cucumber sliced thinly
1 lime sliced thinly
2.25 gal filtered water

Juice it up with a couple of CO2 cartridges, and let it sit overnight to let the carbonation sink in. Add another cartridge each day. Keep refrigerated.

Refreshing!
