½ cup cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

2 cucumber half-moons, cut halfway through middle, for garnish
Directions:
Put cucumber in a food processor and pulse until liquefied. Pour into a cocktail shaker along with the lime juice, simple syrup, and sake. Add enough ice cubes to fill the shaker.
