Jalapeño and Cucumber Margarita

Intro & Description

Nothing tastes better than tequila and jalapeño; the cucumber adds a freshness that helps to mute the jalapeño’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.

This refreshing summertime sipper has sweet-citrus flavor and nuanced heat from jalapeño-infused tequila.

Ingredients:

  • 500ml BWG Cucumber Punch

  • 120ml Gold tequila

  • 100ml Fresh lime juice

  • 60ml Orange liqueur

  • 4 Tablespoons simple syrup

  • 1 Jalapeño Pepper thinly sliced

Preparation:

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a large glass pitcher. 

  2. Stir well and leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill. 

  3. Prepare 4 cocktail glasses with a salt rim and add a couple of ice blocks to each one. 

  4. Pour the margarita mixture into the glasses and add a slice of jalapeño to the rim.  

Recipe Notes

In place of triple sec or Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur), use a splash of fresh orange juice instead.

For a greater jalapeño bite, cut a few slices of the pepper and allow the jalapeños to soak in the tequila for a short while. The longer they sit in the tequila, the warmer the tequila will become.
