Edit TipsYou can adjust the amounts of honey and lime juice to suit your taste. The amounts called for in this recipe result in a slightly tangy drink.This drink is delicious without the alcohol, too. Just puree a kiwi with the watermelon and cucumber to make up for the lack of vodka. You can also add a dollop or two of plain yogurt to the puree.A sprig of fresh mint also makes a nice garnish, alone or combined with the cucumber slice.

Edit WarningsBoth cucumbers and watermelons are 95% water and they help keep your body hydrated, but keep in mind you are also drinking vodka, which is dehydrating, so it is wise to drink a glass of water between cocktails.
