Cucumber Basil Margarita
Cucumber Basil Margarita
Today on Belleza and the Booze we are making a Cucumber Basil Margarita. I had the perfect Tequila for this cocktail, El Nivel Cucumber Tequila. This tequila is so smooth and delicious, perfect for a margarita or just to sip by it’s self, defiantly a high quality tequila. The cucumber and basil in this cocktail makes for a fun fresh change on the classic margarita. *Note I’d probably use more cucumber in my mixer and muddle before adding the ice, and double strain into my glass.
Ingredients:
2 ounces Tequila
1 ounces lime juice
1 ounce simple syrup
4 basil leaves
Cucumber
Kosher Salt (garnish)
Lime wheel (garnish)
How to Craft
If you want to rim your glass with salt start with that.
Add Tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, basil and cucumbers into shaker and top with ice
*Note I’d probably use more cucumber in my mixer and muddle before adding the ice, and double strain into my glass.
Shake till well chilled
Pour into prepared glass over fresh ice and enjoy!
Salud!🥂 💋
