  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 3 thick cucumber slices

Instructions

  • Slice 3 thick rounds of cucumber.

Notes

Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Use fresh cucumbers for the best flavor. English cucumbers work well because they have fewer seeds.
For extra cucumber flavor, infuse the tequila with cucumber slices for 24 hours before making the cocktail.
This recipe serves one person. Double or triple the ingredients to make multiple drinks.
