Sunday afternoon

I swear there was a very good reason for bringing this into the house:

 

It was to make this:

 

And I really need to post more cocktail recipes, so here's one. 

Cucumber Agua Fresca (with or without alcohol, but you should know my position on that)

4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped seeded peeled cucumbers (about 4 medium)

4 cups cold water

2 cups ice cubes

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup fresh lime juice

2 large pinches of salt

20 fresh mint leaves

Throw it all in a blender. Blend until deliciously slushy. Pour into tall glasses.Throw a shot of alcohol of your choice into each drink. Vodka, tequila, gin and rum all work nicely.
