This refreshing drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Cool cucumber and bright lime juice come together in a lightly sweetened agua fresca that tastes clean, hydrating, and genuinely craveable. The whole thing is built from fresh produce, sugar, water, and salt — nothing processed, nothing complicated, and absolutely nothing derived from grain. Blending the cucumber and straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky-smooth liquid that's far more elegant than it has any right to be for such a simple process. A homemade simple syrup lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it, so every glass is perfectly balanced. Poured over ice with a few mint sprigs and a lime slice, it looks like something you'd pay too much for at a fancy café — but it's yours, made at home in minutes.
