Ingredients
3 large Cucumbers
4 Limes
250ml Asda Extra Special Non-Alcoholic Premium Botanical Drink
1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
½ tsp Mild Chilli Powder
Ice cubes, to serve
2 x 150ml cans Fever-Tree Mexican Lime Soda, chilled
Method
1
Using a speed peeler, peel about ½ a cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Peel both the whole cucumbers and the remaining part of the other one, to remove the skin, then chop. Whizz in a blender or in a large jug with a hand blender until smooth. Sieve to remove any seeds.
2
Put the cucumber purée, juice from 2 limes and the botanical drink into a jug and stir to combine. Chill in the fridge until needed.
3
When ready to serve, cut each of the remaining limes into 8 wedges. Mix the salt and chilli powder on a plate.
4
Fill a jug with ice. Layer up with a few cucumber ribbons and ½ the lime wedges. Pour the soda into the cucumber purée and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared jug.
5
To serve each drink, rub a lime wedge around the edge of a tumbler and dip the rim of the glass into the chilli salt to lightly coat. Add some cucumber ribbons then top up with the margarita drink and used lime wedges to garnish.
6
If you have leftovers, the cucumber pureé will keep for 24 hrs in the fridge, just give it a stir before use if it has separated.
