What Makes This Recipe So Good
A cucumber margarita is one of my favorite drinks, especially in the summer heat. It’s light and refreshing thanks to the cucumbers, with notes of lime and orange, and of course, tequila. If you like a little heat you can muddle some jalapeños in your glass, or for a sweeter drink, add a little simple syrup.The ingredients are pretty basic, which I think is a huge plus. Odds are good that these are ingredients you have on hand or can pick up easily. Even better, you can use them again in a ton of different ways, so you won’t be stuck with a bottle of liquor you picked up once for an off-the-wall drink and will never use again.
Chef’s Tips
Got a party coming up? The cucumber juice can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just refrigerate it in a really airtight container, like a mason jar, so it stays as fresh as possible.To avoid watering down your margs, make extra cucumber juice and freeze it in ice cube molds. Use those cucumber cubes in place of plain old ice cubes in your glass or pitcher, and you’ll get even more cucumbery flavor as they melt.
