Cool Cucumber Margarita
Cucumber Margarita
This cool cocktail is a fantastic way to use up those rogue cucumbers sprouting in the garden. It is light, refreshing and is easily multiplied so that you can make a whole pitcher for your thirsty guests.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes
Yield: 2 drinks
Ingredients:
6 slices of cucumber
4 ounces of tequila
2 ounces of triple sec
Juice from 2 limes
3 handfuls of ice
Salt and cayenne pepper
Preparation:
1. Place cucumber, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice in the blender. Pulse until blended.
2. Sprinkle salt and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub the rims of 2 glasses with the squeezed limes. Dredge rims across the salt/cayenne mixture so they have an even coating of salt.
