Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Tequila

    Slice the habanero pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds to reduce heat (if desired). Place the habanero halves in a jar and pour in the blanco tequila. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for about 24 hours, tasting periodically until it reaches your desired level of spiciness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your presentation preference. Set aside a few slices for garnishing.

  3. 3

    Mix the Drink

    In a pitcher, combine the infused tequila (after straining out the habanero), agave syrup, and limonada. Stir well to ensure the agave syrup is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice and pour the cucumber-habanero mixture over the ice. Garnish with the reserved cucumber slices. Serve immediately.
