Ingredients
For one drink
- ½ cucumber, peeled and diced
- ½ ounce tequila (1 tbsp)
- ½ ounce triple sec (1 tbsp)
- ½ ounce lime juice (1 tbsp)
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar (or simple syrup)
- lime wedges, for rimming glass
- kosher salt for rimming glass
- Ice cubes, for serving
For a pitcher of drinks (5 total)
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and diced
- 2 ½ ounces tequila (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 2 ½ ounces triple sec (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 2 ½ ounces lime juice, (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or simple syrup)
- lime wedges, for rimming glasses
- kosher salt for rimming glasses
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- Add the cucumbers to a large blender and puree until smooth and completely blended. Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer and into a bowl or measuring cup to separate the pulp from the juice.
- Add the cucumber juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar to a pitcher or glass. Stir to combine. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the glass in salt and fill halfway with ice.
- Pour the cucumber margarita into the prepared glass and serve.
Notes
- Make it spicy! If you're like me and love cocktails with a little spicy kick, I recommend muddling some fresh jalapeño slices in your glass or pitcher. Just gently press down on the sliced jalapeños a few times with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the oils.
- Add some mint. Muddle a few fresh mint leaves with the cucumber for an extra refreshing taste!
- Make it slushy. Turn this into a frozen cucumber margarita by blending all ingredients with ice to make a frozen version.
