Perfect Patron Cucumber Margarita
Ingredients:
- Your Favorite Silver Tequila 1.25 oz
- St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur .25 oz
- Fresh Lime Simple Syrup 1 oz
- English Cucumber Slices 1” wide 3 each
Instructions:
In a mixing glass, combine all ingredients with ice packed to the rim. Shake with a martini shaker and then pour all ingredients into a rimmed margarita glass. Bonefish’s signature margarita rim for this cucumber flavored cocktail is black pepper & salt, but feel free to use just salt if you want to keep a traditional margarita rim.
A few notes:
- To make the rimmer, just combine equal parts salt and pepper, then rim. To keep sodium down, only use ½ or ¼ of the rim for garnish.
- Fresh Lime Simple Syrup is 60% fresh squeezed lime juice to 40% pure cane syrup. The balance of acidity from the lime and sweet from the sugar is what will make your margarita taste deliciously balanced.
- For a little added flavor, feel free to add fresh mint, basil or even cilantro to your margarita.
Tequila at Home
If your National Tequila Day celebration is happening at home and you want to keep it really local, you could try Mean Mule’s American Agave Spirit (comes in gold or silver). Produced by Mean Mule and sold at local liquor stores, Mean Mule technically isn’t tequila since it’s not produced in designated regions of Mexico. It is made from blue agave so it has a pretty similar taste and a heartland flavor. Pick some up at a local liquor store and find out for yourself.
