I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like the perfect Memorial Day thirst quencher to me.
Serves: 1 Difficulty: Easy - for beginners
Ingredients
1 fl. oz. (2 Tbs.) fresh lime juice
1 fl. oz. (2 Tbs.) agave syrup
4 sprigs fresh cilantro; more for garnish
3 1/4-inch-thick slices English cucumber
1 1/4-inch-thick slice jalapeño
2 fl. oz. (1/4 cup) 100% agave blanco (silver) tequila
Method
Combine the lime juice, agave syrup, cilantro sprigs, 2 of the cucumber slices, and the jalapeño in a chilled cocktail shaker. Muddle well. Add the tequila and fill the shaker with ice. Put the lid on the shaker and make sure you have a tight seal. Shake as hard as you can for 30 seconds and then strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Rub the remaining cucumber slice around the rim of the glass to season it; then use it to garnish the drink, along with a sprig of cilantro.
