Servings: 2 cocktails
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- cocktail muddler
Ingredients
- 3-4 slices fresh jalapeño *less if sensitive to spice
- 1/4 cup cucumber diced
- 2 tsp agave nectar
- 2 oz fresh lime juice ~ 2 limes, juiced
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 2 tbsp salt for garnish
- extra slices of jalapeño, cucumber and lime for garnish
Instructions
- Place fresh jalapeño slices, diced cucumbers and agave nectar in your cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, muddle the mixture until the jalapeños and cucumbers are broken down into small bits.
- Add the lime juice, tequila and cointreau into the cocktail shaker then fill the shaker to the top with ice. Shake the cocktail 30-45 seconds, until the shaker is extremely cold to the touch.
- Place 1-2 tbsp of salt on a small plate. Run one of your discarded lime halves around the rim of each glass to lightly coat with juice. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt plate to lightly rim the glass.
- Fill each glass with ice and pour the contents of the cocktail shaker over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of jalapeño, lime and cucumber.
Notes
Non-alcoholic Mocktail version: Omit the Tequila and Cointreau in step 2. Continue the recipe as written then top off the glasses with Topo Chico or your preferred sparkling mineral water.
