Spicy Cucumber Kiwi Margarita
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and seeded
- 2 kiwi, peeled
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 cups reposada tequila
- 1 jalapeno, quartered
- 1 tablespoon tajin
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Slice of lime, optional
- Slice of cucumber, optional
- Slice of kiwi, optional
- In a blender, combine the cucumber, kiwi, agave and lime juice. Blend on high until mixture is completely smooth. Place a fine mesh sieve over a glass measuring cup or bowl and pour the cucumber mixture through the sieve. Use a spoon to mash down on the solids to extract every bit of juice from the pulp. You should have about 2 cups of juice. Cover and chill.
- In a glass jar add the jalapeno and cover with reposado tequila. Cover and refrigerate until chilled 2-4 hours, the longer it steeps the spicier it gets.
- Combine the tajin, salt and sugar in a shallow bowl. Add water to another shallow bowl and dip the rims of your glasses first in the water and then into the tajin mixture to rim the glass.
- To a cocktail shaker, add ice, 3 ounces of tequila and 2 ounces of juice. Shake well and pour into glasses with a little ice. Garnish.
