I made this recipe to go with my pollo asado con mojo, and it was great on a hot day. A good use of cucumbers for a refreshing cocktail, which you can serve leaded or unleaded. I went with leaded, of course.

- 3 cups chopped seeded peeled cucumber (about 2 medium)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 serrano pepper, seeded
- 3 cups water
- Ice
- Lime slices (optional)
- Cucumber slices (optional)
- Vodka (optional, but recommended)
Combine first 4 ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth. Add 3 cups water; cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight.
Strain cucumber mixture through a fine sieve over a pitcher; discard solids. Serve over ice; garnish with lime or cucumber slices, if desired. To make into an alcoholic drink, add 1.5 ounces vodka to each glass. Or more - it's your party, drink like you mean it.
