8 thinly sliced cucumber slices, plus more for garnish
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, divided
1 cup ice cubes, plus more for serving
4 ounces silver tequila
2 ounces fresh lime juice
1 ounce triple sec
1 ounce simple syrup or agave
2 lime circles or wedges
Steps
First salt the rim of two glasses by rimming the glass with lime juice and dipping it gently in kosher salt.
In the bottom of a cocktail shaker muddle cucumber slices, two sprigs of cilantro until the cucumber releases most of it’s juices and the cilantro is fragrant. Add the ice, tequila, lime, triple sec, and agave and shake until chilled.
Fill the prepared glasses with ice and divide the margarita between the two glasses. Garnish with cucumber, the remaining cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.

Sabrina on 2021-08-21 (5 stars): I'm in! Wonderful margarita, and Puerto Vallarta isn;t bad either, cucumber and cilantro flavors certainly work for me, thank you!
Kelsey Forlini on 2025-02-28 (5 stars): I made this as directed and it is one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had.
Julie Scott on 2025-05-08 (5 stars): I was looking for the margarita from the hideaway location in Puerto Vallarta today and this is so close to it. We always use a topper of gran Marnier. A splash. We rimmed the rim with tajin. Delicious. Thank you
