Fresh Watermelon and Cucumber Juice Recipe

Refreshing and tangy, this lightly flavored juice will keep you happily hydrated on hot summer days.
Note: Start with very cold ingredients and juice them in the order listed to maximize yield. If your juicer has multiple speeds, use a slower one for all ingredients. Watermelon juice has a tendency to separate if left to sit and can come to resemble something from a horror movie. Resist stabbing it with a knife to save your family—a simple stir with a spoon before serving should do the trick.
