Ingredients
▢1/4 cup water
▢1/4 cup fresh lime juice (juice from 3 limes)
▢1/2 cup sugar
▢1/4 cup fresh cilantro whole (not chopped)
▢1 jalapeno pepper (sliced in half lengthwise )
▢2 large cucumbers (sliced)
▢1 cup tequila
▢1/2 cup triple sec
For Decoration
▢Cilantro and Salt (pulsed together in a food processor to get green salt)
▢red apple slice
Instructions
Preparing days or hours before
Put water, lime juice, sugar, cilantro, and jalapeno in a small saucepan and bring it over medium high heat to a boil. Stir to make sure sugar dissolves. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl, removing the jalapeno and cilantro and discarding. Allow to chill in the fridge.
On day making
Puree cucumbers in a high powered blender.
Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh metal strainer, pressing down to get all the liquid. Refrigerate until chilled.
When ready to serve, add jalapeno simple syrup and cucumber juice to a pitcher. Add the tequila and triple sec and stir to combine.
Pour over ice into cilantro salt rimmed glasses and top with cucumber slices.
Beware, for this cocktail is not for the faint of heart. It's a taste of the dark side that only the boldest will savor.
So, Happy Haunting fellow potion masters!
