If you’re looking to add some heat and freshness to your cocktail game this summer, this recipe is just what you need. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of infusing your tequila with the bold flavors of cucumber and jalapeno.
Ingredients
Before you get started, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:
- 750ml of tequila
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 jalapenos, sliced
- Mason jar or airtight container
Instructions
To begin, gather your ingredients and follow these simple steps:
Prepare the cucumbers and jalapenos
Start by washing and drying the cucumber and jalapenos. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and cut the jalapenos into slices, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder spice level.
Combine ingredients in a mason jar
Place the cucumber and jalapeno slices in a mason jar and pour the tequila over the top. Secure the lid and gently shake the jar to mix the ingredients together.
Infuse the tequila
Now it’s time to let the flavors meld together. Store the mason jar in a cool, dark place for 24-48 hours, shaking it gently every 12 hours to ensure even infusion. After 24 hours, taste the tequila to check the flavor intensity.
Strain and serve
Once the tequila has reached your desired flavor, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cucumber and jalapeno pieces. Transfer the infused tequila to a clean bottle or jar and enjoy it chilled or in your favorite cocktail recipe.
