Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 large English (hothouse) cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 ounces tequila
  • 1 1/2 ounces triple sec
  • 1 ounce grapefruit juice
  • 3 ounces cucumber juice (recipe above)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Lime wedge and kosher salt, for the rim

Instruction

  • First, make the cucumber juice. Dump the cuke chunks into a blender and blend until liquefied (you may have to pause between pulses to push the larger pieces down with a spatula).
  • Set the pulp in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Use a spatula to help the juice through. I liked mine a little rustic (and the thicker juice gave the end result a great texture, so once through the strainer was perfect for me!). For a clearer drink, double strain the juice. Either way, you should get between 1/2 and 2/3 cup juice.
  • Pour all of the liquid ingredients (tequila, triple sec, and cucumber juice) into a glass. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
  • Run the lime wedge along the rim of a fresh glass to dampen it. Dump kosher salt into a shallow dish. Invert the glass into the salt dish and spin to adhere salt to rim.
  • Fill the salted glass with ice. Add drink and serve.
