I am currently living in
Mexico where they make a lot of lemonade type drinks using limes and/or
just about any fruit and some vegetables. The one that I like best is
"agua de pepino" or "cucumber-ade."
Agua de Pepino (Cucumber Limeade)
- 1 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
- Juice of 2-3 limes
- Sugar to taste (1/4 c or so is good)
- water
- ice
Put cucumber, sugar and lime juice in blender with enough water
to reach an inch and a half below the top. Blend well. Strain the pulp
out of the mixture and serve over ice. Sounds weird, but trust me, it's
totally addictive.
