If you are a lover of margaritas, you have come to the right place! I have been eagerly waiting for this day to come so that I can share this Cucumber Margarita recipe with you!

This fun, refreshing twist on the classic margarita incorporates cucumber juice which adds a nice, healthy spin on it and a lovely green colour. I mean, we are practically drinking a salad. And I don’t know about you, but I definitely feel better about my choices when I am drinking something green.

If you haven’t strayed away from the classic marg, boy are you limiting yourself! There are so many fun ways to have fun with this cocktail. Check out my recipes for Grapefruit Margarita or Pomegranate Margarita for some other fun varieties! And since they use healthy fruits, lets go ahead and call them salads too. Fruit salads.

Cucumber Margarita Recipe

This recipe for a cucumber margarita uses classic marg ingredients like tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup or agave nectar. I listed the simple syrup/agave nectar as optional as I know some may wish to leave it out, but for me, its a must have. I leave it up to you, but definitely recommend giving it a taste without and then adding in as much of the syrup or nectar as you want to.

For each margarita you make, you will need 3oz of cucumber juice. If you juice 1 large cucumber, it’ll give you 6oz or 3/4 cup of juice which means you can make 2 margaritas. I use a juicer for the cucumber but if you don’t have one, you can use a blender. Just be sure to run the juice through a sieve to remove all of the pulp.

I’ve also included a recipe below for making a pitcher of margaritas, because margs are always better with friends!
