Instructions

Rub the rim of a lowball glass with a cucumber slice. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt).
Add the cucumber slices to a cocktail shaker and muddle them (gently mash) to release the juice.
Add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice and fill the shaker with 4 ice cubes. Shake for 15 seconds until cold.
Strain into the prepared glass, and fill it with ice. Garnish with cucumber slices.
