Cucumber Lime Refresher

IMG_7937A friend of mine asked me what ever possessed him to try lime cucumber Gatorade. 

It sounded kind of good. It sounded like something to mimic in my own kitchen.

Luckily, I had everything I needed on hand.

So, I thoroughly washed a lime and cut it into quarters. Then I peeled a cucumber and sliced it into chunks. I added 1/3 cup sugar and two generous pinches of salt. All of the aforementioned ingredients went into the pitcher of my blender with some water. I blended the mixture until it was relatively smooth. Then I poured the mixture through a sieve. The strained juice then went into a two quart pitcher and was topped off with water.

Ooohhh. Refreshing. 

I want to try the same thing adding strawberries to the mix. 

A monster may have been born.
