📜 History

The Cucumber Spa Cooler emerged from the wellness and spa industry in the late 20th century, where cucumber-infused water became synonymous with relaxation and rejuvenation. Drawing on the ancient practice of using cucumber for its cooling and hydrating properties, spas began serving elaborate cucumber beverages to guests. The drink represents the broader trend toward health-conscious, refreshing beverages that prioritize natural ingredients and clean flavors.
