Cucumber Citrus Fresca – Spa Party Drinks
The Indian Springs Spa in Calistoga, California, serves a refreshing Cucumber Citrus infused Mineral Water to its guests during its Classic Mud Bath Treatment. In Mexico and Texas, refreshing “CucumberAde” or “Fresca” is popular, and although odd sounding can become addictive. It is the perfect summer spa refreshment.
