Main Ingredients

Rim Preparation

Method

Rim Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rim

    Mix the Tajín seasoning and salt in a small dish. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the Tajín-salt mixture until well coated.

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Empress Cucumber Gin, fresh cucumber (sliced), juice of half a lime, and Triple Sec. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  2. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass with the Tajín-salt rim. Squeeze the other half of the lime into the drink and stir gently.

  3. 4

    Garnish

    Slice the orange into rounds or wedges to use as a garnish. Place the orange garnish on the rim of the glass or float it on top of the cocktail.
