Cucumber Basil Pepino
 
Ingredients
  • 16 - ¼" slices of English Cucumber (also called hothouse cucumber)
  • 1-1/2 cups of Silver Tequila
  • ¼ cup Cointreau
  • 20 Basil Leaves
  • ¾ cup Lime Juice (I used 4-5 limes)
  • 1-1/2 cups Pineapple Juice
  • ⅓ cup Light Agave Nectar (found in sugar aisle)
  • 1 bottle (12 fl oz) Cucumber Lime Soda or Lemon Lime Soda (or to taste)
Instructions
  1. Muddle half of the cucumber slices in a pitcher.
  2. Add all other ingredients and stir.
  3. Serve over ice.
  4. Garnish with remaining cucumber slices.
Notes
To double the recipe, just double the liquid ingredients. We did not add any more basil leaves than the original twenty. We did double the muddled cucumbers. We used a total of 7 limes.

It is not recommended to use a regular cucumber. It is more waxy and bitter.
