The Cucumber Mint Margarita is like a cool breeze on a warm day. You'll first notice the crisp taste of cucumber, followed by the bright, refreshing flavor of mint.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz lime juice fresh is best
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • Fresh cucumber slices about 4-5
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Salt for the rim optional
  • Extra cucumber slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by muddling the cucumber slices and mint leaves in the bottom of the shaker. This means gently pressing them to release the flavors.
  • Add the tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice to the shaker.
  • Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  • Strain the drink into your prepared glass, filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a cucumber slice and a sprig of mint.
