Cucumber Margarita
General Manager & SommelierGeorgia Felber Jones, Olympia Tea Room, Watch HillIt’s hard to choose between the cantaloupe martini and the cucumber margarita at Olympia Tea Room, but the margarita is great because it’s a simple 2:1:1 template you can make at home.
Ingredients
- Tajín rim*
- Cucumber for ribbon garnish
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce Wild Moon Cucumber Liqueur
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
Notes
First prepare the rim (see below), then use a Y peeler to peel a long ribbon of cucumber and carefully wrap it against the inside of an Old Fashioned glass, then fill with ice. To a bar tin, add liquid ingredients and ice, shake vigorously for 10 seconds, strain into the prepared glass. Cheers!
*Tajín rim: Combine 2 parts Tajín seasoning to 1 part Diamond Crystal kosher salt in a small dish. To prepare the glass, wet the rim with a lime wedge, roll the rim in the mixture and set aside.
