Peel English cucumber; remove any seeds. Coarsely chop and combine in a blender with water, sugar, lime juice, coarse salt, and ice cubes; blend until smooth. Serve over ice, garnished with cucumber spears, if desired.
I've had variations of cucumber water, but none of them included "pulp" from the cuke. I wasn't fond of the resulting texture, although the overall flavor was refreshing. Won't be making again.
This was so good even the kids liked it!I added a little lemon juice!
