Garden Party Guzzler
Tequila, cucumber, lime, and club soda combine for a perfectly light and flavorful summer cocktail
Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Muddler
Ingredients
Garden Party Guzzler (for one)
- 1 2" section of a cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 ounces fresh lime juice (about one lime)
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 2 ounces coconut water
For Garnish:
- Club soda, coarse sea salt, lime wedge, and cucumber wheel
Instructions
- Combine the lime juice and cucumber in a shaker and muddle until the cucumber is well mashed.
- Add the tequila, coconut water, and a lot of ice. Shake for at least 30 seconds.
- Salt your rim, if desired, and add ice to your glass. Strain your drink into your glass and top off with club soda. Garnish with a lime wedge and cucumber wheel.
- Guzzle away (responsibly, of course)
Notes
If you don't have coconut water on hand, no worries! You can still make this, simply use more club soda instead. Give it a taste -- depending on what you like, you may want to add more cucumber or lime. That is the best part of this cocktail -- it is very easily adaptable and made with typical kitchen and bar staples. Cheers!
