Do you remember my post on Monday, where I told you that I was obsessed with creating the most perfect and somewhat healthiest margarita on the planet, and that my family went the entire weekend without warm food or motherly love while I obsessed over my newest obsession?
Well, I’VE DONE IT!
I don’t mean to suggest that this recipe is the end-all-be-all, but last night I dreamt that I had to give a presentation on something that changed my life…I gave this margarita demonstration.
Spicy Cucumber Margarita
Ingredients
8 ounces blanco or silver tequila (clear)
4 limes
1 cucumber
1 orange
1 jalapeno
2 T agave syrup
Love
Directions
1. pour 8 oz of tequila in a pint glass, slice & de-seed the jalapeno, then throw it in the tequila and muddle. Strain tequila into a pitcher and set aside.
2. cut each lime in half and completely juice those suckers. pour into the pitcher.
3. cut orange in half and juice it until you get 1/2 cup. pour into the pitcher.
4. juice the cucumber. pour into pitcher.
“How do I juice a cucumber?” you ask. Ok, this is where my ‘special’ kind of thinking really shines.
Simply shove a 1 inch cucumber slice into a lime carcass, juice it & repeat!
I’m trying to be humble here, but damn…I’m a goddamn genius!
5. add 2 tablespoons of agave nectar to the pitcher.
6. Make a wish, blow a kiss, and shake that pitcher with unbridled passion! (I guess now’s a good time to suggest you use a pitcher with an airtight lid.)
7. Serve on the rocks with a salt & cayenne rim & enjoy!
8. Sing my praises.
I did the math, and by using fresh juices and eliminating the Triple Sec, this yummy margarita will only set you back 35 calories an ounce! Of course, you could save more calories by using less tequila, but that’s just ridiculous. I’d rather forgo dinner.
