Ingredients
- 1 lime wedge
- kosher salt
- 2-inch piece of cucumber, chopped
- 2 fresh mint sprigs
- 1 oz simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water combined, boiled to dissolve sugar, and cooled)
- 1 ½ oz 100% blue agave blanco tequila
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 6 to 10 ice cubes
Instructions
- Cut a small notch in the center of the lime wedge. Run the notch around the edge of the margarita glass to moisten. Fill a plate with coarse salt, turn the glass on its side, and roll in the salt to coat the outside edge. Fill with ice and set aside.
- Muddle the cucumber, mint sprigs and simple syrup in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and ice. Cover and shake until frothy, cold, and tiny ice crystals will appear in the drink, about 15 seconds.
- Double strain into the prepared glass and serve immediately.
