1/8 cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau
1/8 cup simple syrup
Kosher salt

Combine the rest of the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and divide evenly between the two glasses.

About Sharon Damelio

I love to cook and to write–both of which I learned at my parents’ elbows. After graduating from college, I worked at Fine Cooking magazine as the Assistant Web Editor. After two glorious years there, I returned to graduate school and now work at WhyHunger, an NYC-based nonprofit that is building a movement to end hunger and increase access to fresh, nutritious food. In the kitchen, I fancy myself the culinary version of an armchair-traveler, but I’m also a devoted baker. Some days, when work is overwhelming and the world seems bleak, methodically creating a batch of bread, cookies, or scones is all the relaxation I need.

    This looks like a really fun recipe to try, but what is the first ingredient? Is that 1/4 of a cucumber, pureed? Or 1/4 cup of cucumber puree?

    Hi Angela,
    That would be 1/4 cup cucumber puree. When I made the drink I pureed about 1/4 of a small cucumber and it was a little too much, but I added the extra to the drink and it was just fine.
