CUCUMBER AGUA FRESCA
A classic Mexican refreshment for a long, hot day.

  • 2 medium cucumbers (1½ pounds or so), cut up
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ¼—½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 large pinch salt
  • Additional ice cubes as needed
  • Splash of tequila or gin (optional)
  • Mint sprig

Instructions
