Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut off both ends and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Serrano Pepper

    Wash the serrano pepper, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds for a milder flavor. Dice it into small pieces.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the Casco Viejo Blanco, lime juice, diced serrano pepper, and ancho chile liqueur.

  2. 4

    Shake the Mixture

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a serving glass and moisten the rim with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into the Tajin to create a flavorful coating.

  2. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with the cucumber rounds on top or on the side.
