Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the glass: Rim a chilled margarita glass with Tajin by spreading 1 teaspoon Tajin on a small plate, running a lemon wedge around the rim, then dipping the rim into Tajin to coat.

    Muddle cucumber and lemon

    In a shaker, muddle 0.5 cucumber with 30 ml Fresh Lemon Juice to release cucumber oils and flavor.

    Add spirits and syrup

    Add 60 ml Astral Tequila and 22 ml Housemade Spicy Syrup to the shaker.

  4. 4

    Shake with ice

    Fill shaker with 1 cup ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Strain the cocktail into the Tajin-rimmed glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
