Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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
  • Cilantro and Salt (pulsed together in a food processor to get green salt)
  • Cucumber slices

Instruction

  • 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!
