A lot of my gardening friends find themselves overwhelmed with summer squash but I manage to eat all the zucchini and calabacitas that come my way. For me, the bounty problem comes to a head with cucumbers. I like a nice cucumber salad but it would be all I eat if I used every last cucumber that comes my way. 
Here’s a refreshing twist that will remind you a bit of a watermelon agua fresca. Peel cucumbers and add them to a blender with some sugar and lime. Fill with water and blend well. Adjust the flavor by adding a little more water if you need to. It’s that easy and one less cucumber goes to the compost pile!
Yay! I’m swimming in cucumbers and this is perfect! (And with the sugar the kids are bound to love it…)
Oh, yes. I am SO doing this in about a week, when I’ll be overrun by the cucumbers.
Maybe sparkling water? A little vodka… how about with some crushed ice…?
Hope you both like it. It’s a lot like a watermelon drink.
Joanna, I bet a spoonful of sugar is a lot less than a coke has in it!
Lisa, go for the booze and report back. Personally, a little shot of tequila on the side would work just fine.
