Ingredients

1 ounce silver tequila
1 ounce cucumber juice
1 Tablespoon triple sec
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup

Instructions

Peel and cut the cucumber into large pieces. In a food processor or blender, purée the cucumber until smooth. Using a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup or bowl, pour the cucumber purée into the strainer and use a spoon to push the excess liquid through. (*1/2 English cucumber will yield about 1/3 cup of juice.)
Combine the ingredients. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, cucumber juice, and simple syrup. Shake well.
Prepare the glass. Rub the rim of a glass with simple syrup and dip it in coarse salt or sugar. Pour the margarita into the glass.
Garnish. Garnish with a cucumber slice or fresh sliced jalapeños as desired.
