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 ½ 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.
