Spicy Cucumber Margaritas 🌶🥒🍹 Recipe 👇

I absolutely LOVE a cucumber-based cocktail, but I feel like every time I order one at a restaurant, it’s way too sweet and doesn’t taste nearly as refreshing as I’d hoped! If you’ve ever had the same experience, this is the cocktail recipe for you!

It’s made with a jalapeño infused agave, which really tones down the sweetness, and you can add as little or as much as you’d like. Fresh cucumber juice makes all the difference in flavor (as does freshly squeezed lime juice for tartness). Good quality tequila & orange liqueur round it out for a cocktail that’s super refreshing, spicy (but not too spicy) and lightly sweet.

SPICY CUCUMBER MARGARITAS 🥒✨🌿
(Makes 2 drinks)

Jalapeño infused agave:

1 cup agave syrup
1 jalapeño, sliced into rounds (or less for a less spicy cocktail)

4 oz cucumber juice (1 large or 4 mini cucumbers)
2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
3 oz tequila
1 oz orange liqueur (we use @cointreau_us)
1 1/2 oz jalapeño infused agave (more or less to taste)

For the rim: 1 tbsp kosher salt and zest from 1 lime

Add jalapeño slices and agave to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer for a minute or two, then remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes to cool before straining out the jalapeño.

Peel and dice a cucumber and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard the pulp.

Moisten the rims of two glasses with a lime wedge, then coat in salt + lime zest mixture and fill with ice.

Add cucumber juice, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur and agave to a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Shake well for 10 seconds, then strain into the rimmed glasses. Optional: top with a cucumber ribbon and/or a jalapeño slice.
