Guest Post: Summer Recipes ~ Audrey from A Lovely Escape



So excited to have Audrey here from A Lovely Escape, her blog always has the best style inspiration and weekend scenes, and she is one of the sweetest people! 
***Cool as a Cucumber LemonadeI planned to share a summer vegetable pizza recipe here on Sarah's lovely blog, but my AC broke and its 85 degrees in my apartment and just the thought of turning on the oven made me break out in a sweat. So instead, I turned to one of the most refreshing things I've had this summer - cucumber lemonade. It's super simple and undeniably satisfying. Just add a splash of vodka and it transitions from a cool daytime drink into a tasty cocktail,  
4 cups of water2 cucumbers, peeled and cubed1/2 cup of sugar1 cup of lemon juice (recommend freshly squeezed)1-2 tablespoons of agave nectar (to taste)
1 - peel and cube cucumber, puree in blender with water and sugar2 - add lemon juice and agave nectar and blend3 - garnish with a cucumber or lemon slice and drink it up
