Cucumber And Lavender Cooler: A Bright, Spirit-Free Refreshment
Sep 03, 2025
It’s been a minute since we shared a spirit-free creation, and this one is worth the wait. The Cucumber and Lavender Cooler is crisp, floral and refreshing in that effortless way spring drinks should be. Our El Guapo Cucumber Lavender Bitters bring clean cucumber notes with a soft lavender lift for a drink that feels fresh and intentional.
It is perfect for days when you want something light and revitalizing in your glass.
Why This Spirit-Free Cooler Works
The flavors stay bright without leaning sweet. Fresh cucumber keeps it crisp. Lime brings snap. A touch of honey adds balance. Cucumber Lavender Bitters add the herbal, floral depth that most spirit-free drinks miss. The result is clean, layered and satisfying.
