This Spicy Cucumber Margarita has just the perfect balance of cool flavors + heat, with fresh jalapeno, cucumber, and lime. It comes together in minutes, a fun and delicious tequila cocktail!.
INGREDIENTS available at Fast Lane Liquor
4 slices cucumber about ¼” thick – use a regular cucumber, not English or Persian
1 slice lime about ¼” thick
1 ounce orange liqueur
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
½ to 1 ounce agave to taste – or substitute simple syrup or honey
2 ounces blanco tequila
1 slice fresh jalapeno about ¼” thick, with seeds – use more for additional heat
INSTRUCTIONS
Add sliced cucumber, sliced lime, orange liqueur, lime juice, and agave to a cocktail shaker. Muddle for 30 to 60 seconds, or until cucumber and lime slices are completely broken up. A cocktail muddler has a grooved head that is designed for breaking up fresh ingredients easily, but a simple wooden spoon works in a pinch!
Add tequila and jalapeno. Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Strain into a lowball glass filled with ice. Garnish with slices of cucumber, lime, and jalapeno, if desired. Enjoy immediately.
