Cucumber Juice Cocktail

Spring is a time of rebirth, regrowth and renewal. It is also a time of new beginnings, new life, new promise and brand new opportunities. It is a time when trees wake up from their long winters nap and redress their branches with new leaves, buds and blossoms. It is a time when tiny shoots bravely poke their way through the earth, animals wake up from hibernation and birds return back from migration. With everything in nature starting over so fresh and new, there can be no better time to make positive changes. Springtime gives everyone an open invitation to explore personal growth and development. It is an opportunity to spring clean our lives – mind, body and spirit.

Cucumber Juice Cocktail

Cucumber, green apple, lemon and ginger juice cocktail

The credits for this delightful juice cocktail go to Shanon Sterringer who is the pastor at The Hildegard Haus in the Village of Fairport Harbor and author of Forbidden Grace. As she put it, “I created a little bit of sunshine inside with my juicer.” I couldn’t run fast enough to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients to create a little sunshine in my life. And it did just that!

2 unpeeled cucumber, 1 lemon, 1 green apple and a piece of peeled ginger
Liquid sunshine
I juiced the cucumbers first, then removed the pulp from the juicer and made cucumber water for later.
