This cocktail has a similar tart, tangy flavor profile to a traditional Margarita, but with a fresh, crisp twist that's perfect for spring. The cucumber provides a refreshing, crisp taste that's complemented by the fresh lime juice's tanginess. The triple sec and simple syrup balance out the tartness, making it a well-rounded and delicious cocktail.
