  • Puree until very smooth.
  • Place a fine mesh colander over a pitcher or bowl. Pour the juice into the strainer and let rest. You can help things along by occasionally stirring the pulp around in the strainer.
  • Serve with lots of ice and mint leaves and lime wedges. Cucumber Mint Lime Agua Fresca with lime wedges

Notes

Addition: Add less sugar and half of a honeydew as well. So good.
As you can imagine, this is an incredibly good mixer for margaritas. Check out my “Mexican” page for lots of good Cinco de Mayo ideas.
