Cucumber Lime Mint Agua Fresca

Place the coarsely chopped cucumbers, freshly squeezed lime juice, packed mint leaves, sugar, and water into a blender. Add enough water to fill the blender to about three-quarters full. Secure the lid and purée the mixture until smooth.

Position a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl. Pour the puréed mixture through the sieve, using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to press and extract as much liquid as possible.

Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice cubes and add the strained juice. Serve in glasses with sprigs of mint and slices of lime.
