# Savory Summer Refreshments This Dill and Cucumber Drink Recipe Will Cool You Down in Hot Weather By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-08-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cucumber-drink References: [tasty-yummies](http://tasty-yummies.com/2015/08/28/cucumber-dill-refresher/) & [blog.freepeople](http://blog.freepeople.com/2015/08/cucumber-dill-refresher/) This cucumber drink is both refreshing on a hot summer's day, while still managing to be savory at the same time. From Beth at Tasty Yummies and featured on the Free People blog, the Cucumber Dill Refresher is a delicious beverage to enjoy before the season comes to an end. It is also a suitable recipe for people on a restricted diet. To make your own, you will need diced cucumber and fresh dill as well as water, ice, honey or maple syrup and orange juice (although lemon or lime juice would also serve quite well). If you are more in the mood for a cooling cocktail, you can easily add some gin or white tequila. Soda water will also give it some charming effervescence. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Savory Beverages:** Opportunity for developing unique, savory drink options in the beverage industry. - **Restricted Diet Recipes:** Opportunity to create recipes that cater to individuals on restricted diets, like this cucumber dill drink for people with dietary restrictions. - **Effervescent Dill Drinks:** Opportunity to innovate in the sparkling beverage category by incorporating dill as a flavor. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the beverage industry to explore and create new savory beverage options. - **Specialty Diet Market:** Opportunity for businesses to cater to the growing market of individuals with dietary restrictions by developing recipes and products specifically tailored to their needs. - **Sparkling Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the sparkling beverage industry to experiment with unique and unexpected flavors, like dill, to capture the interest of consumers seeking refreshing alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Non-Alcoholic Cucumber Bubblies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cucumber-bubbly.md) - [Cucumber-Infused Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empress-1908-cucumber-lemon-gin.md) - [Ultra-Refreshing Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dash-water-cucumber-mint.md) - [Tart Cucumber Avocado Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cucumber-avocado-smoothie.md) - [Spiced Pickle Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-soda.md) - [Summer-Ready Refreshng Tea Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refreshing-tea-blend.md) - [Savory Citrus Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sudachi-juice.md) - [Ethical Cucumber Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-cucumber.md) - [Customizable Summertime Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-pink-spritz-refresher.md)
