Cucumber-Lime Agua Fresca

Agua frescas are bright, refreshing drinks and make a terrific nonalcoholic option. Many are fruit based (or sometimes made with flowers or seeds), with water and sweetener added to taste. This invigorating lime and cucumber blend is particularly well received on a hot summer day. If you like, add a seeded and chopped serrano chile or a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender.
