Mean Green Cucumber Juice

A jamaican recipe made by sunny anderson on cooking for real. some reviewers on another website recommend adding a twist of lime at the end and decreasing the amount of sugar from 2 cups down to 1 cup (but i will leave those choices up to you). sunny also said that she has added vodka to this beautiful, bright green juice for a wonderful adult cocktail.
