Cucumber Tequila Soda.
This cucumber tequila soda is wildly refreshing and perfect for summer! Cucumber syrup, fresh lime, mint, tequila and super bubbly soda water make for the most delish, crisp and light drink.
Thirsty Thursday!!
I am in love with this cucumber tequila soda, which is the most refreshing, bubbly, cooling drink you can make this summer.
It’s light. And it’s pretty! Oh and it tastes phenomenal.
I’ve been making cucumber vodka sodas for years, but this tequila one is taking the cake. Or the cocktail.
My cucumber vodka sodas use fresh cucumber juice and simple syrup. These tequila sodas take that idea… but I make a cucumber simple syrup. Cucumbers are the syrup!
I’m all about finding ways to use some of my favorite homemade ingredients, like syrups, dressings and more. In Everyday Dinners, I have a sauces and dressings chapter and it’s my meal lifeline.
This is sort of like that! The cucumber syrup, I mean. I first shared it a few weeks ago in this cucumber spritz. It’s definitely my official drink of summer 2024! It’s very refreshing.
But here’s the thing – a tequila soda with lime is my go-to in general. It is so light and easy. It never makes me feel like garbage. It’s simple!
So this is my second way of showing you how to use this cucumber syrup!! Delish.
First, I make the cucumber syrup. You can make this a few days ahead of time and store it in the fridge!
I pour some of the syrup over crushed ice and mix it with a bit of tequila. I squeeze in some fresh lime juice too!
Then, I top it off with super bubbly seltzer.
A big garnish of fresh mint is DELIGHTFUL. I like to push it into the drink so it infuses the flavor a bit too. So refreshing and summery.

Cucumber Tequila Soda
Ingredients
cucumber syrup
- 4 mini cucumbers, cut into pieces
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup sugar
tequila soda
- 2 ounces cucumber syrup
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ ounces tequila
- bubbly soda water, for topping off
Instructions
- Place the cucumbers and ¼ cup of water in a blender. Puree until smooth and no chunks remaining. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and add the sugar and remaining water. Bring the mixture to a light simmer, whisking so the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strained at least once, maybe twice, to remove any extra bits. Pour the remaining cucumber syrup into a jar and store in the fridge for a few days.
- Fill a glass with crushed ice and cucumber slices. In a cocktail shaker, shake the cucumber syrup, lime and tequila together. Shake for 30 seconds. Pour over the crushed ice. Fill to the top with bubbly water.

One of my new summer favorites! So refreshing. Works well with a jalapeño infused tequila for a spicy cucumber drink. Yum!
