For the cocktail:
- 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, de-seeded and sliced

Instructions
- Place pitted dates in a large bowl. Cover with very hot water and set aside for 30 minutes.

- To make date syrup, first drain dates. Place dates and 1 1/2 cups clean water in a blender (I used my Nutribullet). Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass jar or Tupperware and set aside.
- Place watermelon, cucumber, mint, and 2 tbsp date syrup in blender. Blend. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve and discard pulp.
