Ingredients:
Simple Syrup Ingredients:
- 4 Purecane™ Individual Packets
- 1/2 cup water
Other Ingredients:
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 6-7 limes)
- 2 ozs Triple Sec
- 6 ozs Tequila
- ½ medium cucumber (sliced)
- + a few slices for garnish
- 1/2 jalapeño (sliced and de-seeded)
- + a few slices for garnish
Directions
- Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil.
- Once the water has been brought to a boil, add in the Purecane™ Individual Packets. Remove from heat and stir until dissolved. Allow to cool completely by popping in the fridge while you move on to the next step.
- Muddle ½ of a medium cucumber (sliced) and ½ of a jalapeño (sliced and de-seeded) in the bottom of a pitcher or a bowl. You can use the back of a spoon or fork to do this. (Tip: if you want it more spicy, add the jalapeño seeds! The seeds contain all the heat).
- Combine the cooled simple syrup, lime juice, Triple Sec, and tequila in the pitcher over your muddled cucumber and jalapeño mixture. Give it a few stirs so the flavors can combine.
- Serve over ice and enjoy! Will make about 4 margaritas.
- Optional: Garnish with jalapeño, lime and cucumber slices.
- Optional: Sub out 1-2 limes for lemons for a light and fresh twist!
