Cucumber Margarita

Ingredients

• Salt (for rimming the glass)
• 2 1/2 ounces Cucumber-Infused Tequila
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce simple syrup (see Note)
• 1 slice cucumber (for garnish)
• 2 English cucumbers (thinly sliced crosswise)
• 1 (1 liter) bottle blanco tequila

Steps

1. Wet the rim of an old-fashioned or margarita glass and dip it in salt. Let stand until dry. Fill the glass with ice.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the cucumber-infused tequila (recipe below), lime juice, and triple sec. Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
3. Strain the cocktail into the rimmed glass and garnish with the cucumber slice.
4. In a large pitcher or mason jar, combine the sliced cucumbers and the tequila. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
5. Strain the tequila into a clean pitcher or jar; discard the spent cucumbers.
