Cucumber Mezcal Margarita

Written By Christie Knight

AKA freshness in a glass. This drink was a happy accident, when I wanted to make something delicious and scrambled through the cupboards for inspiration. Sometimes the fridge raid recipes turn out to be the most memorable.

Makes 2 drinks

Into a shaker, add:

  • 50ml Mezcal (I used Casamigos)

  • 25ml Reposado Tequila

  • 25ml Elderflower Cordial

  • 50ml fresh lime juice / 1 full lime squeezed

  • 2 slices of fresh Cucumber

  • A few mint leaves

  • Shake it hard!

  • Double strain over block ice and top with Fever Tree Cucumber Tonic

  • Garnish with whatever is left! Mint leaf / lime wheel / long cucumber slice

  • Voilà
