Cucumber Lime Margarita

Delicious and refreshing Cucumber Lime Margaritas are made with just 5 ingredients: fresh lime juice, fresh cucumbers, silver tequila, triple sec, and lime soda water. They are not overly sweet, only getting a little sweetness from the triple sec.

Some cucumber margarita recipes will have you juicing cucumbers and straining the pulp, and well, making a mess… When I am ready to have a cocktail I do not want to lug out a juicer!! That is why you are going to love this easy recipe!

“Parts” in a Cocktail

When making a cocktail you can use a measurement called a “part”. It is an inexact measurement and just refers to the amount of liquid added. It can be any amount, 1 ounce, 1 cup, 2 ounces. The key is keeping the amounts equal, so start with whatever 1 part equals. See the chart below:

How to Make Cucumber Lime Margaritas

Start by gathering a glass, a drink muttle, and all your ingredients:

• Silver tequila – I prefer Casamigos
• Triple sec
• fresh limes
• fresh cucumber
• lime soda water (could also use ginger beer, I like Q Mixer)

Cut your cucumber into 1 inch chunks, now cut them in half and remove the seeds.

In a rocks sized glass (approx. 8-10 oz.) place half a fresh lime. Muddle it until all the juice is released. Add 2 cucumber chunks and muddle until it is well bruised and you can smell the cucumber in the glass.

NOTE: if you do not have a drink muddler, you can use the handle end of a wooden spoon.

Pour in 1 part tequila and 1/2 part triple sec, give it a stir to combine. Fill the glass with ice, then float the lime soda water to the top.

NOTE: if you like a sweeter cocktail you can use 1 part tequila and 1 part triple sec. Using Q Mixer ginger beer will also make it sweeter.

Garnish with a thin cucumber round and serve!

Disclaimer: this is NOT a sweet margarita, it is definitely a refreshing cocktail with the flavor of fresh cucumber and lime.

Notes

Parts in a cocktail: A part is an inexact measurement in a cocktail. It can mean 1 ounce or 1 cup, depending on how much you are making. The key is to keeping it equal. 

In this drink it calls for 1 part tequila and 1/2 part triple sec. I usually pour about 1.5 ounces of tequila and .75 ounces of triple sec. 

FOR A SWEETER COCKTAIL: If you prefer a sweeter cocoktail you can make your cucumber margarita with equal parts tequila and triple sec and also sub ginger beer or Sprite for the lime soda water.
