I made the spa mixer this weekend, but was curious about the recipe calling for 4-5 cucumbers, which seemed like a bit much. For the amount of liquid this has, only two cucumbers did the trick.
I guess what I'm asking is if there is a specific type/size of cucumber you use, Alberta?
I tried this at home. Holy worlds of wonder! Cardamom.
I love the SPA Mixer, it is simply the best and should be added to every drink. The show looks great and I was actually there for the Apple incident.
