Created in partnership with Argentinian Yerba Mate.
Consider this your brand-new multi-tasking summer beverage.
Made with super fresh cucumber and mint, yerba mate (Argentina’s powerful tea of choice), and just a little bubbly (the non-alcoholic kind!), it’s like green juice-meets-iced tea-meets-a spritzer.
Whip up a pitcher for healthy poolside or picnic sipping with friends.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Cucumber is ultra hydrating and refreshing, making this a great hot-weather beverage. But it’s not just for cooling off: you could also use it as an afternoon pick-me-up, since yerba mate has energy-boosting powers that are similar to coffee’s. Bonus: it’s also filled with vitamins and minerals.
