✨ Why This Drink Exists:

The summer sun isn’t the enemy—mineral loss is.
Between sweat, stress, and seed-oil snacks, most people are walking around in a chronic electrolyte deficit disguised as “tired.”

This isn’t a cocktail—it’s a cellular reset.

---

• 1 small cucumber, peeled + sliced (cooling & hydrating)

• ¼ tsp mineral-rich sea salt (electrolyte boost)
• 1 tsp raw honey or monk fruit (optional—balance the tart)
