Pitcher Frozen Cucumber Margaritas

Freeze cucumbers on cookie sheet: The night before (or a few hours before making the margaritas), place your sliced cucumbers on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze. Elana Lepkowski Freeze cocktail ingredients: Combine tequila blanco, agave, orange liqueur, and lime juice in a gallon-sized zip top bag or freezer safe container, and place in freezer overnight or a minimum of 4 hours before serving. Blend margaritas: When ready to make margaritas, combine chilled liquid ingredients (they will be a slush-like consistency at this point), frozen cucumber slices, and 3 cups of ice into a blender or food processor. Blend at high speed until smooth. If needed, add more ice if you want a thicker frozen drink. Rim the cocktail glass: To rim the glasses, use a lime wheel to wet the outside edge of your glass (not the inside as the ingredients on the rim are more likely to fall back into your drink if you also wet the inside of the glass). Pour Tajín or kosher salt into a shallow bowl that will accommodate the glass and gently press the glass at a slight angle to coat the rim, moving the glass around until partially or completely covered, whichever you prefer. Repeat with additional glasses. Elana Lepkowski Pour and serve margaritas: Pour blended cucumber margaritas into the glasses and garnish with a cucumber spear and lime wheel. Serve. Elana Lepkowski
