Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Fresh cucumber
- 1 small Fresh jalapeno
- 4 ounces Tequila
- 2 ounces Triple sec
- 2 ounces Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 ounce Agave syrup
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons Salt
- 2 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, saving a few slices for garnish. Place the remaining cucumber slices into a blender.
Cut the jalapeno in half and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder drink. Slice one or two rings of jalapeno for garnish and place the rest in the blender.
Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave syrup to the blender with the cucumber and jalapeno.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Run a lime wedge around the rims of two glasses to moisten them, then dip the rims into a shallow dish of salt to coat them evenly.
Fill the glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blended margarita mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the prepared glasses to remove any pulp.
Garnish each glass with a cucumber slice, a jalapeno ring, and a lime wedge.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
