Step 1

Heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar is completely combined with the water. This should only take about a minute.

Step 2

Combine the water mixture, coconut water, mint, lime juice and cucumbers in a blender.

#SpoonTip: Blend the mixture to whatever consistency you like: blend it longer for a super smooth mixture or blend it shorter for a more coarse mixture.
