In honor of Cinco de Mayo we are mixing up Fun Drink Friday to Tipsy Tuesday (ok that was a stretch… Toast to Tuesday!? whatever.). I whipped up some cucumber tequila a few weeks ago (infused tequila with persian cucumbers for a couple of weeks then strained) and haven’t been sure what to make with it… enter – the Cucumber Rose Margarita… as pleasant for your eyes as it is your tastebuds.
Cucumber Rose Margarita
- 3 oz cucumber infused tequila
- 2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Grand Marnier
- 1 oz rose water
- Combine above ingredients in an ice filled cocktail shaker. Shake until icy.
- Strain into an ice filled glass (be sure to rim with lime juice/salt if you are so inclined).
- Garnish with dried rosebuds, cucumber spears and/or jalapeño slices.
* For a spicy spin either muddle some jalapeño in the bottom of the cocktail shaker or let soak for an hour or so in the cucumber infused tequila.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
