Rice Free Melon Cucumber Cooler

This blender drink is the kind of thing you make once on a hot afternoon and then crave for the rest of summer. Honeydew melon brings a soft, floral sweetness, while English cucumber keeps everything light and refreshing — and a little fresh ginger adds just enough of a tingle to make it feel like something special. A handful of basil rounds it all out with an herby lift that makes this taste far more sophisticated than the effort involved. The whole mixture gets strained through a fine-mesh sieve, so what ends up in your glass is silky smooth and beautifully clear. Naturally, there's not a grain of rice anywhere near it — this is pure fruit, vegetable, and herb, nothing more. A drizzle of honey is entirely optional, because ripe honeydew is already plenty sweet on its own. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and it's honestly hard to believe something this good came together in under a minute of blending.
