Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 3 ounces tequila
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup
- 1 bottle cucumber water
- margarita salt, for rim
- Chamoy, for rim
- Chile lime seasoning, for rim
- splash of sparkling water
Method
Step 1
Start off by slicing your jalapeño. Add in 5ish slices of a jalapeño depending on how spicy you want your drink to be.
Step 2
Add to your cocktail shaker (or just a glass). Use a muddler or bottom of a wooden spoon to muddle your jalapeño. This will release all the spicy juices. Add 1/2 of your lime, juiced.
Step 3
To prep your own healthy simple syrup, heat up the same amount of honey & water on the stove until evenly incorporated. Make as much as you want. Add to the shaker.
Step 4
Then add in your tequila and ice cubes. Shake for a few minutes.
Step 5
Then in your serving glass, dip the rim in some chamoy & dip in margarita salt mixed with some chile-lime seasoning (optional). Fill your glasses with ice.
Step 6
Pour in your cucumber water & then your drink mix. Strain if you don't have a cocktail shaker so you don't get seeds in your drink. Top it off with some sparkling water.
Step 7
Mix everything together. Garnish with more jalapeño if desired & a lime slice.
