Savory rather than sweet, and salted deliberately — celery and cucumber are both high in potassium, which is the one that tends to run low early on.

Method

6 steps · 10 minutes

Peel the cucumber if the skin is waxed, and leave it on if it is not. The skin carries most of the bitterness either way.
Blend both with a splash of water and strain it through a strainer, pressing gently.
Do not press hard. Forced through, it goes cloudy and green and tastes of the pulp.
The salt is the point rather than a seasoning, so put in more than feels right and taste it.
Lime last, off the blender. Blended with the rest it turns bitter from the oil in the skin.
Over plenty of ice. It separates within about ten minutes, so stir it again if it stands.
