Instructions
FOR THE INFUSED TEQUILA (start a few hours ahead)
- In a glass container, combine 1 cup reposado or blanco tequila and 1 jalapeno,quartered. Cover and refrigerate until chilled 2-4 hours, the longer it steeps the spicier it gets.
FOR CUCUMBER LIME JUICE:
- In a blender, combine 1 English cucumber, ¼ cup agave syrup and½ cup lime juice. Blend on high until mixture is completely smooth.
- Strain the cucumber through a sieve, stirring with a spoon to extract as much of the cucumber juice as possible. You should have about 1¼ - 1½ cups of juice.
FOR EACH CUCUMBER MARGARITA:
- Add 1 tablespoon Tajin to a shallow bowl. Rim the glass with a bit of agave (I use a small pastry brush to coat the rim. Dip the rims into the Tajin mixture until it clings to the glass.
- To a cocktail shaker, add ice, 3 ounces of jalapeno-infused tequila and 2 ounces of the cucumber lime juice. Shake well and pour into glasses with a little ice. Garnish.
FOR A PITCHER OF CUCUMBER MARGARITAS:
- In a pitcher combine 8 ounces jalapeno infused tequila, 8 ounces plain tequila, 12 ounces cucumber lime juice, and 6 ounces Cointreau. Stir well and refrigerate until ice cold.Serve in ice filled glasses, rimmed with the Tajin-sugar. Garnish as desired.
Notes
- These cucumber margaritas are best served the day they are made, so if you're serving them by the pitcher, make them earlier in the day and chill until you're ready to serve.
