Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Tequila

    If you haven't done so already, infuse the blanco tequila with habanero peppers. Place 1-2 sliced habaneros in a bottle of blanco tequila and let it sit for 24-48 hours, shaking occasionally. Taste periodically to achieve desired heat level.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into thin slices and then dice half of the slices into small pieces for muddling later.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the diced cucumber pieces, agave syrup, and the habanero infused blanco tequila. Muddle the mixture gently to release the cucumber's juices.

  2. 4

    Shake the Cocktail

    Add ice to the shaker, then pour in the limonada. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix all the ingredients well and chill the drink.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice. Garnish with cucumber slices, a slice of habanero, and fresh mint leaves.

  2. 6

    Enjoy!

    Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, spicy flavors of your Habanero Cucumber cocktail!
