Cucumber Mint Mezcal Margarita

Summer Sips

It’s Friday Junior so lets kick off Summer Sips with a cocktail that will keep you cool on a hot summer day.

I am keeping this post short and sweet so lets jump into how I made it.

Cucumber Juice:

Grab a blender/immersion blender/juicer, whatever you have on hand. If you are not using a juicer add about 3 Tbsp of Water and half of an english cucumber cut into half moon slices. (8-12 slices). This resulted in about 1/3 Cup of Cucumber juice.

You can make this ahead of time and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Cucumber Mint Mezcal Margarita Recipe

• 2 oz Mezcal - I used Del Maguey Vida

• 0.75 oz. Triple Sec

• 1 oz. Cucumber juice

• 1 oz. Lime Juice

• 0.5 oz. Agave (1 oz if you like sweeter!)

• Mint sprig

Garnish: lime zest/salt rim, fresh mint and a cucumber slice
How I made it:

To a cocktail shaker add a mint sprig -don’t forget to slap it! Add all other ingredients, fill with ice. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain over fresh ice and garnish.

Serve and enjoy!
