Here's a great summertime margarita from our Frontera Farmer Foundation benefit. The cucumber adds an interesting twist to this classic cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
- 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
- Lime wedges
- Coarse salt
- 3/4 cup Tres Generaciones Blanco Tequila
- 3/4 cup pureed strawberries
- 1/4 cup cucumber juice (peel and cube fresh cucumber and puree in a blender)
- About 1 cup coarsely broken ice cubes
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine lime juice, sugar and a scant 2/3 cup of water in a glass or plastic pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (but no longer than 24 hours).
Rub the rims of 4 martini glasses with a lime wedge, then dip them in a dish of coarse salt. In a shaker, combine the limeade, tequila, strawberry puree and cucumber juice. Add ice and shake 10 to 15 seconds, then pour into the prepared glasses.
