Cucumber Cooler

One year when my garden was busting at the seams with cucumbers, I couldn’t pickle them fast enough. To preserve my harvest, I threw some cucumbers, peel and all, in a blender and hoped for the best. The result was a delicious, refreshing juice that begged to be turned into a drink. After a hot day, this is just the thing I need to refuel. Booze is optional, though it may help convince a picky eater to try drinking their vegetables instead.
