Watermelon Cooler is the perfect summer drink. It is slushy and cold. It has a nice watermelon flavor with a undertone of cucumber and it is not overly sweet. It is also a very pretty drink which would be a nice to serve for summer entertaining. This recipe is non alcoholic but you could certainly add some vodka, gin or rum if you want to turn it into a cocktail.
This is easily made in a blender. The addition of mint and lime juice give it a nice touch of extra flavor.

Place the watermelon cubes, cucumber cubes, mint, sugar, lime juice and salt into your blender. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture through a sieve or strainer over a large bowl. Press down on the pulp with a spoon to get all of the liquid out. Discard the pulp that remains in the sieve. Place the mixture back into the blender and add your ice cubes. Process until the mixture is thick and slushy. Pour into four 8 ounce glasses and add 1 shot glass of alcohol if you are using it. Stir. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and straws.
