Cucumber + Sal Margarita
Method
Cucumber + Sal Margarita
Prepare Cucumber Infusion
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Place the cucumber slices in a large jar or container and pour in the silver tequila. Seal the jar and let it infuse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for a stronger flavor.
Make Cilantro Syrup
In a saucepan, combine equal parts of sugar and water. Add a handful of fresh cilantro leaves. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Strain to remove cilantro and store the syrup in a bottle.
Prepare the Glasses
On a small plate, add the black sea salt. Rub the rim of each glass with a lime wedge and dip the rim into the salt to coat it evenly.
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of the cucumber-infused tequila, 1 cup of cilantro syrup, 1 cup of fresh lime juice, and 2 cups of ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses and garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
