Looks pretty tasty, huh? I wish I could reach through the screen of your computer / iPhone / iPad and hand you one! Wouldn't that be nice?
The main, and most important ingredient to have on hand is the Jalapeño Tequila I introduced last week. It really is easy to make, so if you'd like to try your hand at crafting this cocktail I'm about to tell you about you'll want to infuse yourself some spicy tequila first.
The bottle I use to store my tequila is the Bormioli Rocco Moresca Swing Bottle ($6) from Sur La Table, but I just saw some that are even cheaper at Home Goods last week!
Ingredients: (makes one cocktail)
- 1 1/2 ounces cold Jalapeño Tequila (I keep mine in the refrigerator)
- 1 cup crushed ice
- a handful of peeled and sliced cucumbers
- 2 limes for juicing + zesting
- 1 tablespoon light agave
- sugar
1. Put the cucumbers and 1/2 cup of crushed ice in a sturdy glass and muddle them together. If you're fancy (or just well prepared) you can use an actual muddler
To rim the glass: put about 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl, and (using a zester
2. Pour the ice / cucumber mixture into a cocktail shaker
3. Pour the entire contents of the cocktail shaker into your beautifully rimmed glass and enjoy!
This is a great cocktail to serve up for taco night in the summer! Now I just need to figure out how to make it in a large batch, because I am dying to make this for some of our friends!
Happy Thirsty Thursday, friends!
