Cucumber Margarita Recipe
- 1 medium English cucumber (about 1 pound), peeled and coarsely chopped
- 8 ounces silver (blanco), 100 percent agave tequila
- 4 ounces light agave nectar
- 4 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 8 medium limes)
- 4 ounces Yellow Chartreuse
- Ice
- 4 lime wedges, for garnish
- Place the chopped cucumber in a blender and smash the pieces down into the pitcher.
- Blend on high until liquefied, about 30 seconds.
- (You may need to stop the blender and smash the cucumber pieces down more to get the blade spinning again.)
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a 2-cup measuring cup and pour the liquefied cucumber through the strainer.
- Using a rubber spatula, press on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
- (You will need 8 ounces of juice.
- Save any extra for another use.)
- Discard the solids in the strainer.
- Place 4 cocktail glasses in the freezer to chill.
- Place the cucumber juice, tequila, agave nectar, lime juice, and Chartreuse in a 1-quart container and stir to combine.
- Place 7 ounces of the margarita mixture in a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice and and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the contents into 1 of the chilled glasses, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve.
- Repeat to make 3 more margaritas.
