What are Kirby cucumbers? Would English type work?
Kirby are usually used for pickling, their seeds are small. English cucumbers would be a fine substitute. Better a late response than none at all!
FANTASTIC! Used with regular cucumber. We all agree we can taste all the elements—watermelon, cucumber, lemon. Great with a little muddled mint too. Makes great mixer for adult beverages, if so inclined.
Too bad I didn't see the note below about adding muddled mint before I made this. I doubled it and used regular cucumbers, and made the whole thing in my juicer. Delicious, I used less agave syrup though, still plenty sweet.
Really enjoyed this! Think of what your brain wants from “watermelon juice” (as compared to the actual fruit juice), coupled with a smooth, lingering finish with the cucumber and aloe vera. The lemon juice (I needed 4 lemons ) adds great brightness throughout. I’m hoping to serve small iced glasses with a cucumber and mint garnish as a welcome drink for a hot BBQ. One tip: you’re going to make a little mess on your counter to get this elixir, so go ahead and make a double batch.
