Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 oz blanco tequila
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz orange liqueur Cointreau or triple sec
  • 0.5 oz agave syrup or simple syrup
  • 0.25 cup chopped cucumber peeled and seeded
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt for the rim
  • 0.25 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning optional, for the rim
  • 1 slice cucumber for garnish
  • 1 wedge lime for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Rim a rocks glass: rub the lime wedge around the rim, then dip into the salt and chili-lime seasoning. Set aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle the chopped cucumber until it releases plenty of juice.
  • Add tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
  • Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail into the glass. Fine-strain for fewer cucumber bits, if desired.
  • Garnish with a cucumber slice and lime wedge. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicy kick, muddle a few jalapeño slices with the cucumber. To batch for 8 drinks: 16 oz tequila, 8 oz lime juice, 8 oz orange liqueur, 4 oz agave, and 2 cups chopped cucumber. Chill, then shake or stir with ice before serving.
