Ingredients
Cucumber Juice
- 2 cucumber peeled
Cucumber Margarita (makes 1)
- 2 oz. cucumber juice
- 1 ½ oz. tequila silver
- 1 ½ oz. lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 oz. Cointreau or triple sec
- ½ oz. simple syrup optional
- lime for garnish, wedges or twists
- cucumber for garnish, sliced into rounds
Instructions
- Make the cucumber juice
- Peel the cucumbers, and chop roughly.
- Place in the blender, and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the cucumbers have turned into juice.
- Strain with a fine mesh strainer, and store in a sealed mason jar in the fridge until it’s cucumber time.
- Mix the margarita(s)
- Run a lime along the rim of your glass(es), and coat with salt or Tajin.
- Add ice, and set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, measure out the cucumber juice, silver tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and simple syrup.
- Add ice and shake until ice cold.
- Strain and pour into the prepared glass. Enjoy immediately.
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!
