This fruit-infused water is cool, refreshing and perfect for warm weather. To create this agua fresca, a drink popular throughout Mexico and South America, we blend cucumber and water with lime juice and mint for even more flavor. Want to make an alcoholic version? Try adding 1 1/2 ounces of vodka or gin into each serving.
