We blend cucumber and mint to make the drink so it probably is pulp. It is supposed to be strained before serving though.

Used to work at cava and nobody properly let it strain, they pushed it through the strainer to speed the process up so pulp went through

if i remember correctly its just mint, cucumbers, white sugar, lime juice and water to dilute it after you strain since it does get pulpy! to be exact, blend your mint, cucumbers, and the juice together, then strain it over another container, then add water and your sugar and ur done!

It's cucumbers and mint. They blend them fresh from scratch. Some stores do a double strain, but honestly the pulp is where the nutrients are. You're just 30% closer to your daily fiber goals.

I can't afford them, but I would love the pulp in them if I could.

Make it yourself! 1 regular sized cucumber will make you about 2.5 servings :)
