A Cucumber Tequila Shot is a drink that combines two of your favorite things: tequila and cucumbers! It’s a light, refreshing drink that you can enjoy on a hot day or after a long workday.
Cucumbers are full of potassium, which helps regulate your blood pressure and reduce stress. That means you’ll feel less stressed out after drinking this refreshing shot! And because it’s made with tequila, it’s also great for getting over those Monday blues—or Tuesday blues… or Wednesday blues… or whatever kind of blue you’re having today!
If you’re looking for an easy shot recipe that’s sure to impress your guests, this is it. The best part? It only takes a few minutes to prepare and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen.
We recommend making this cucumber tequila shot when you’re having friends over because it’s something everyone will enjoy—even if they don’t normally like cucumbers or tequila. In fact, this drink is so good that we think it should be served at all parties!

How to Improve the Cucumber Tequila Shot
- First, make sure you’re using fresh ingredients. You can’t beat an old-fashioned Cucumber Tequila Shot made with fresh cucumbers, right?
- You could also try adding some salt to the drink. This will give a salty taste that can complement the cucumber flavor nicely.
- If you want to make the drink even fresher, consider adding mint leaves or other herbs to your mix. This will also give some extra flavor!
- Use high-quality tequila. Don’t skimp on the good stuff—you want your drink to taste great!
- Cut the top part of the cucumber off—the part with the seeds—and discard it.
Olmeca Altos to enhance this Cucumber Tequila Shot
Cucumber Tequila shots are a great way to start your night. The cucumber gives the tequila a light, fresh taste and the salt will help to open up your nasal passages. This is especially helpful if you’re going to be dancing or moving around later in the evening.
But what if there was a way to improve this shot? What if there was a way to make it even better? Well, we have just the thing for you: Olmeca Altos.
If you’re looking for a little extra kick, try adding a splash of Olmeca Altos Tequila. This will give your drink an extra punch of flavor—and who doesn’t want that? You can also use this recipe as a nice base for other drinks, like Margaritas or Mojitos.
