This orange cucumber spagarita is a refreshing accompaniment to Betty Crocker's skinny shrimp tacos. Cucumber and orange slices are muddled and mixed with blanco tequila and orange liquor. When purchasing your tequila, look for a brand that proclaims 100 percent agave (that will have the cleanest flavor). Orange cucumber spagarita is delicious and relaxing cocktail best sipped poolside.
