Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice juice from 3 limes
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro whole (not chopped)
- 1 jalapeno pepper sliced in half lengthwise *SEE NOTE
- 2 large cucumbers sliced
- 1 cup Exotico Reposado tequila
- 1/2 cup triple sec
For Garnish
- Cilantro and Salt pulsed together in a food processor to get green salt
- Cucumber slices
Instructions
- Heat a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring water, lime juice, sugar, cilantro, and jalapeno to a boil. Stir to make sure sugar dissolves. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl, removing the jalapeno and cilantro and discarding. Allow to chill in the fridge.
- While Jalapeno Simple Syrup is chilling, puree cucumbers in a high powered blender.
- Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh metal strainer, pressing down to get all the liquid. Refrigerate until chilled.
- When ready to serve, add jalapeno simple syrup and cucumber juice to a pitcher. Add the tequila and triple sec and stir to combine.
- Pour over ice into cilantro salt rimmed glasses and top with cucumber slices.
- Enjoy!
Notes
NOTE: If you'd like this less spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before adding to the saucepan.
