JALAPENO AND CUCUMBER MARGARITA



Jalapeno and Cucumber Margarita image

Nothing tastes better than tequila and jalapeno; the cucumber adds a freshness that helps to mute the jalapeno's bite. The longer it chills, the more jalapeno and cucumber infuses into the tequila. Serve over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with cucumber slices.

CILANTRO-JALAPENO MARGARITA



CILANTRO-JALAPENO MARGARITA image

Categories     Pepper

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lime wedge
1 to 3 thin slices jalapeno (stemmed, seeded, sliced lengthwise)
2 cilantro sprigs
1 1/2 oz. blanco tequila
1 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. Countreau
1/2 oz. agave syrup or simple syrup
6 to 10 ice cubes

Steps:

  • Muddle jalapeno and one of the cilantro sprigs. Add the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, agave, and ice. Cover and shake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cilantro and jalapeños are essential for making the best margarita. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Choose the right tequila: A good quality blanco tequila is the best choice for this margarita. Avoid using a reposado or añejo tequila, as they will have too much flavor and overpower the other ingredients.
  • Make your own simple syrup: Simple syrup is easy to make and it's a great way to sweeten your margarita without adding any extra calories. To make simple syrup, simply combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
  • Rim the glasses with salt: Salting the rims of the glasses is a classic margarita garnish that adds a nice touch of flavor. To rim the glasses, simply rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and then dip it in a plate of salt.
  • Serve the margaritas immediately: Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Just be sure to shake them well before serving.

Conclusion:

The cilantro jalapeño margarita is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its unique blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, this margarita is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the cilantro jalapeño margarita a try. You won't be disappointed!
