21 Summer Sips: Watermelon & Cucumber Cooler

After a long day outside, is there anything better than watermelon? It’s sweet and so refreshing. I swear, sometimes I buy a quarter of a melon and eat the whole thing at once. That’s ok right? I mean, it’s mostly water…Anyway, this agua fresca-like beverage  is an ideal antidote to a hot day. It’s simply a strained puree of sweet juicy watermelon and crisp cool cucumber – how can you go wrong?

Feel free to play around with the ratio of watermelon to cucumber to suit your taste preference. Regardless, I hope you find this cooler as delicious and refreshing as I do!
