Refreshing cucumber wine coolers are like a day at the spa, but better

Go green and get refreshed at the same time with this unique wine cooler, which is a perfect way to relax on a hot summer day or night.

Here’s an idea: You can sit back and relax while drinking this wine cooler. Doesn’t that sound great right now? If you really want to get into the relaxing part, then cut a couple of extra cucumber slices, get comfy and put your feet up, and then lay the cucumber slices over your eyes while sipping on your wine cooler.

And the bonus is that you can enjoy a wine cooler and get some veggies in for the day at the same time.
