Cucumber & Mint Margarita’s…
Brian and I decided to make a little Sunday afternoon cocktail on day 56 (holy shit I can’t believe I turn 30 in 56 days!!!!) and it’s delish.
ingredients (makes 1):
2 large mint leaves, plus more for garnish
6 thin slices cucumber
3/4 shot lime juice
1/2 shot simple syrup
2 shots tequila
ice
In a shaker or lidded jar, muddle together the mint, cucumber, lime juice and syrup, until the herb is well-bruised and the cucumber is a bit pulpy. Add the tequila and some ice, and shake well. Strain the drink into two glasses with plenty of ice. Garnish with mint.

LOVE adult beverages made with cucumber! My other favorite random ingredient for cocktails is basil. It sounds nice to be back home with your man!
Tell me your basil drink recipes! Oh and yes it’s so nice to be back home with my man:)
I don’t have any! But I always order them. 🙂 Hm. Maybe that should be my new recipe for the week- I’ll share it if I find a good one.
Keep me posted if you find a good one! It sounds yummy!
I’ve never had a beverage with cucumber. Looks refreshing!!
it was so refreshing!! 🙂
Thanks, I will have to try them I developed a great taste for Margarita’s especially in the summer.
Gosh I wish I could grab that through the screen & take a big gulp. And also that placemat while I’m grabbing things. I’m always looking for new ways to use mint – so thanks! Can’t wait to try these this summer.
Janet love mint so I need to show her this… I’ll just take mine plain and frozen… 🙂
Gotta love girls who drink!!
Oooh I love it! I will have to bring these ingredients with me for my Memorial Day weekend/My birthday getaway to Antlantic Beach, NC. Found a condo right on the beach 3 days ago. So excited. Plus Atlantic Beach will be celebrating 75yrs with fireworks on that Saturday (aka: my bday) and the owner of the condo where I am staying said that the fireworks can be viewed from the balcony. Yip Me! Added to todo list: find good tequila, make simple syrup;). Thanks for sharing.
Oh my!!!!! This sounds amazing!! Can I come?! 🙂
