How to Make Cucumber Melon Cooler

  1. Remove the rind from one small honeydew melon (approximately 3 cups cubed).
  2. Peel one medium cucumber. Cut 8 (1/4-inch thick) slices from the middle for garnish. Dice the remaining cucumber.
  3. Combine the cubed melon, diced cucumber, and 1 cup of water in a blender. Puree in two batches until smooth.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
  5. Whisk in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the juice of 1 lemon into the strained liquid.
  6. Taste and add up to 2 cups of water, depending on your preference for sweetness and consistency.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly. Serve over ice with a cucumber slice garnish.
