There’s nothing quite like a perfect margarita. The drink is both simple and infinitely customizable which is probably why it’s consistently the most popular cocktail in the United States. There are many ways to enjoy a margarita: frozen on the rocks or with an infusion of flavors ranging from mango to chili to blueberry to strawberry. But perhaps the best summertime margarita variation is the cucumber margarita.

Refreshing cucumber margarita – Martha Stewart
Unlike some margarita variations that embrace the heat like the jalapeño margarita the cucumber margarita is a soothing refreshing twist on the classic drink. Cucumbers are a cooling ingredient with a high water content and a distinctly delicate flavor that adds flavor to any beverage it’s infused into.
Now you might be tempted to throw some of your average American cucumber into your drink but that would be a mistake because there is one cucumber variety that stands out above the rest for use in drinks. The English cucumber rather than the American cucumber is the best choice for margarita making attempts. English cucumbers are less bitter than their American cucumber counterparts and have a delicious subtly sweet flavor.
If you really want to know why the English cucumber is the best choice for a delicious and refreshing margarita you need to delve deeper into the fruit and find out how they differ from American cucumbers.
