Spicy Cucumber Margarita
Maybe it’s because the spice masks the alcohol taste and you are left with a refreshing cucumber drink with a hint of spice.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 3 inches English cucumber (or half a Persian cucumber)
- 2 teaspoons thinly sliced serrano pepper
- 2 ounces tequila blanco
- 1½ ounce triple sec
- 1½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Add the sugar, cucumber and Serrano pepper to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to press down and twist the mixture. Repeat this a few times until the cucumber releases juice and creates a syrup with the sugar.
- Add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice.
- Add ice to the shaker then close the top and shake vigorously.
- Strain the drink into a glass filled with ice. Serve immediately.

Notes
Strain the muddled cucumber and pepper mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother margarita, especially if you’re serving guests who prefer a cleaner, less pulpy drink.
