Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare glasses

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of two rocks glasses, then dip rims into the sea salt to create a salted edge.

  2. 2

    Muddle aromatics

    In a shaker, gently muddle cucumber slices with jalapeño slices to release fresh cucumber flavor and a touch of heat.

  3. 3

    Combine liquids

    Add to the shaker: tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.

  4. 4

    Add ice

    Fill the shaker with ice up to about halfway.

  5. 5

    Shake

    Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  6. 6

    Strain and serve

    Strain the cocktail into the prepared glasses over fresh ice. If desired, add a splash of water to adjust strength.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish each glass with a lime wheel and a cucumber wheel for a refreshing finish.
