Cilantro Jalapeno Margarita Recipes

SPICY CILANTRO MARGARITA

Steps:

• Combine the smoked salt and chile-lime seasoning on a saucer.
• Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with the lime and dip the glass into the mixture on the saucer.
• In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cilantro leaves with the chile, lime juice and simple syrup. Add the orange-flavored liqueur and tequila and shake with ice for 20 seconds.
• Strain into the prepared glass with fresh ice and garnish with the top of the chile. Top with lime soda. Serve.
• Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool.

SPICY CUCUMBER MARGARITAS

Steps:

• In a high-speed blender, blend the cucumbers, cilantro, sugar, lime zest, lime juice and minced jalapeño until mixture is foamy and blended. (Reserve the lime rinds for Step 3.)
• Pour mixture into a fine-mesh sieve set over a large measuring cup and strain liquid from solids. (You may want to stir the liquid a bit to speed up the process.) You should have 1 1/2 cups strained liquid; discard the solids. Stir in a large pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon). Mix strained cucumber liquid with tequila; set aside or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
• When ready to serve, rim your glass with salt, if desired. Using the reserved lime rinds, moisten the rim of a rocks glass. Set 3 tablespoons sea salt in a shallow rimmed plate, and dip the moistened rim of each glass into the salt to coat. Fill glasses with ice.
• Working in batches, shake margaritas in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Divide among prepared rocks glasses. Set a slice or two of jalapeño directly on top of the ice in each glass, as desired for heat, and serve immediately.
