Over the weekend Elsie started experimenting with different margarita flavors. I had the pleasure of trying out this cucumber margarita and it was so delicious! The addition of cucumber juice made this cocktail super refreshing without being overly sweet.
Cucumber Margarita, makes one serving
1 shot (1.5 to 2 oz.) tequila
1 shot (1.5 to 2 oz.) triple sec
juice from one lime
juice from 1-2 cucumbers (Elsie used her juicer
honey and pink sea salt for garnishCoat the rim of a small to medium size glass with honey then dip in sea salt. Fill the glass 2/3 full with ice. Pour in the shots, lime juice and top off with cucumber juice. Give the drink a stir and garnish with a lime slice.
If you want to sweeten your margarita try adding a little sour mix or simple syrup. Enjoy! xo. Emma + Elsie
so lovely and colourful!

Hmm.. cucumber margarita?!? I never would have thought of it! I am going to try this for sure!

DROOL! I like lemon flavors with cucumber, so I'd skip the honey and coat the rim with lemon/lime juice but this sounds suuuuper tasty!

What a unique use of a juicer! It sounds like it would be delicious with jalapeno simple syrup too:

Tequila is involved. No other reason necessary for me to try this recipe. ;)
