Cucumber lime margaritas are cool, refreshing, easy to drink and just the right amount of boozy. They’re basically everything you want on a hot summer day. They’re light enough to enjoy poolside, but have enough body and flavor to keep you from sipping one too many.
The hardest part about making these delicious drinks is remembering to make the cucumber-infused tequila a day ahead. It’s easy. You just need to combine tequila and cucumbers. But you do need to plan ahead so the tequila can soak up the refreshing flavors from the cucumbers.
A last note. My recipe incorporates Mother Shrub Lime. This locally made drinking vinegar combines unfiltered apple cider vinegar, organic limes, and unrefined vegan cane sugar. You don’t HAVE to use it in the recipe, but it adds an extra limey note and allows you to use less actual lime juice. When you sit around juicing limes all morning and see how little juice is actually produced, supporting a local business feels even better. Find Mother Shrub at these stores.
You could probably translate the cocktail recipe into a pitcher drink, but I whipped them up one at a time poolside recently with my mini cocktail shaker.
And now, for the recipe.
