Instructions
- Rub a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass and the dip the outside of the rim of the glass in Tajin.
- In a cocktail shaker, add cucumber slices, lime slices, lime juice, jalapeno slices, and sugar
- Muddle together, squashing everything to release the juices.
- Add tequila and orange liquor.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until combined, about 15 to 30 seconds. The longer you shake, the spicier it will become.
- Strain into an ice-filled, spicy-rimmed rocks glass. Garnish as desired with cucumbers and mint, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Can I make more than one margarita at a time? If you are following the shaker method listed below, I don’t recommend making more than two margaritas at a time. The shaker won’t have enough space to do its job otherwise!
- That said, you can very easily make a large batch of the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice ahead of time. When it’s time for a refill, simply pour the mix into an ice filled shaker, add your cucumber, pepper, and sugar and shake like the dickens!
- Can I make a pitcher of cucumber margaritas? Make a batch of agua fresca de pepino and add 2 cups of tequila and 1 cup of Cointreau and float slices of jalapeño.
- You won’t have the muddled action, but all the flavor profiles will be there.
