Title: Agua De Pepino Con Limon (Cucumber-Lime Cooler)
Categories: Beverages, Mexican
Yield: 8 Cups

1 lg Cucumber
6 c Water
1/3 c Lime juice; (2 to 3);
-freshly squeezed
1/3 c Sugar; or more if needed

This quick and refreshing drink is great on its own, but it's also a
good base for other beverages. Try stirring in some chopped fresh
mint, raspberries, honeydew, or pineapple, or a combination. I'm not
sure how it works, but rubbing the end really does help remove
bitterness from standard cucumbers; the trick doesn't apply to
English or Persian cucumbers.

Rinse the cucumber well. Leave the skin on, cut off about 1/2 inch
from one end, and rub the two flat surfaces against each other (this
helps remove any bitterness). Discard the end piece and repeat with
the other end.

Slice the cucumber, then put it in a blender. Add the water and blend
until completely pureed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a
pitcher, then add the lime juice and sugar and stir until the sugar
is completely dissolved. Taste and add more sugar if you like.

Refrigerate until completely chilled. Serve over ice.
