Cucumber Mint Margarita
This margarita is a fusion cucumber and mint in every sip. The cool cucumber and invigorating mint are a refreshing twist on the classic margarita. The spa water aromas and clean flavors pair perfectly with our Blanco tequila for a light, clean cocktail.
The Key to Making a Great Cucumber Mint Margarita
Have you tried our tequila twist on your favorite spa water? This margarita is the answer for a fresh and cooling option. Our bright, citrusy Blanco with hints of mint compliment this drink perfectly. The delightful kick of tequila mixed with the mellow cucumber and mint make this a go-to summer staple in the cocktail rotation.
Depending on personal preference, the agave nectar can balance the cocktail and add sweetness. More can be added if you enjoy a sweeter version. A showstopping garnish is the cucumber ribbon which is achieved by taking a vegetable peeler and peeling slices of a persian cucumber and layering on the inside of the glass.
