4 jiggers (1 ½ ounces) cucumber-flavored vodka

Peel the remaining cucumber and cut into chunks. In the container of a blender, add the cucumber, elderflower liqueur, and lime juice, and blend on high until completely puréed.

For each drink, add ice to a cocktail shaker along with a jigger of vodka. Add 2 jiggers of the cucumber purée, and shake vigorously. Strain the contents into a chilled martini glass and garnish with 3 cucumber slices. Serve immediately. 

Ingredients: 6oz fresh watermelon juice (from about 1½ cups chopped seedless watermelon, blended and strained); 2oz tequila, preferably blanco; 2oz Cointreau (optional)

2oz fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 large limes), rinds reserved; 

Ice, as needed

Preparation:

Prepare the salted rim, if using: In a small shallow bowl or plate, combine the sea salt and Tajín. Using one of the squeezed lime halves, run it along the rim of two rocks glasses, then dip the rims into the salt mixture

In a shaker filled with ice, combine the watermelon juice, tequila, Cointreau (if using), lime juice. Shake to combine. (Note: The watermelon flavor shines brighter without the Cointreau, but the liqueur takes the drink into more traditional margarita territory.)

Fill the glasses with ice, then strain the margaritas into the glasses and enjoy immediately.
