Cooking Notes

Followed the recipe exactly, but the result was very vegetal and flat. It improved a bit after adding the juice of a few limes, but I won’t be making this punch again.

Agree with other comments that the recipe as-is felt a little underwhelming - though topping off each glass with a splash of something sweet and sparkling like moscato or 7-Up/Sprite instantly gave it a much needed boost without overwhelming the cucumber/coconut flavor.

does the addition of mint help jazz it up?
