I made a wine a long time ago from neat cucumber juice and IIRC it
turned out to be very good. I don't recall how I extracted the juice,
but peeling then freezing first, de-freezing, then adding sugar worked
very well for me recently with zucchini. Cucumber would need a flavour
boost with something like lemon, but if you are not keen on that,
possibly lime, mint or even juniper?
