Refresh your day with this Cucumber and Melon infused water. A simple, delicious way to stay hydrated while adding flavor and fun to your beverage.
Even though we drink water almost all the time, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up with something a little more exciting. We love experimenting with different drinks like Mint Lemonade, Raspberry Peach Iced Tea, and flavored water. Adding berries, herbs, and citrus can turn an ordinary drink into something refreshing and flavorful. This Cucumber Melon Drink is a unique flavor combination, that results in a crisp, hydrating drink. It's perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day.
If you're not a fan of regular water and it seems too boring and plain for you, give this a try. It’s super refreshing, light, and a little sweet – the perfect pick-me-up without being too heavy. It’s also an easy way to get more creative with your beverages, and it looks gorgeous in a glass, too! Whether you’re looking for a new drink to enjoy or just want to add a little extra flavor to your water, this combo of cucumber and melon will definitely hit the spot.

How To Make Cucumber Melon Drink
- Step 1: Scoop the seeds out of the melon. Cut wedges of melon and use a vegetable peeler to to get long strips of melon. Do this over a bowl, so you can save all the juices that will drip off when you are cutting into the melon.
- Step 2: Place the melon strips, with the juice into a pitcher.
- Step 3:Add the slices of cucumber.
- Step 4: Pour in the water. Add sugar to taste, if you want to make it sweet.
How To Serve
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator up to 24 hours. It's the best when the water is cold and the flavors have a chance to meld together. So refreshing!

Does this only last 24 hours as in freshness? Or is it mean to leave for 24 hours for it to infuse then drink it?
No, it will stay fresh for several days. The 24 hours is for the drink to infuse, however, you can drink it much sooner, but the flavor will be a lot more pronounced if it has time for all the flavors to infuse.
This drink looks wonderful! I can drink water all day without any flavoring but always love any healthy drinks!
Yum! I love the thin strips of melon in there, so pretty! Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for sharing. Anyone who has never tried adding natural flavor to their water should make it. You will not be disappointed. My husband and I first experienced this kind of drink at a lovely hotel, they made a huge thing of this and put it in the lobby for the guests. My husband and I kept coming back for this water, it was soo good. What they also did was add ice in there too. Melon and cucumbers were the most flavorful I think and our favorite. Then there was strawberry one, lemon, and many other combinations they did.
