Simple Syrup:
Combine the water and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat; heat until just about ready to boil and sugar has dissolved.
Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
Blend the cucumber in a blender or food processor until mashed into a pulp; pour pulp into a fine mesh strainer over a bowl; allow to sit until there is about 2/3 c. cucumber juice in the bowl, about 15 minutes.
Stir the simple syrup, cucumber juice, and lemon juice together in a pitcher.
Serve cold with ice cubes, garnished with lemon and cucumber slices, if desired.
