Notes

  • The cucumber juice should make around 1-2 cups, depending on the water content of your cucumbers. Regular cucumbers will have more water than an English cucumber.
  • This recipe makes one margarita, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re pouring margaritas for a crowd.
  • How can I use margarita mix in this recipe? If you’ve got margarita mix (homemade margarita mix or the store-bought kind), omit the lime juice and simple syrup with 2 ½ oz. of the margarita mix.
  • My favorite margarita store-bought shortcuts:
  • Cold press freshly squeezed lime juice: It sounds silly, but if you can find this refrigerated lime juice that’s good to go, it’s worth the cost, especially if you’re entertaining.
  • Simple syrup: If you’re unsure if you’ll have time to make and then cool simple syrup, they sell this bottled stuff in stores, too!
