Look, Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and you know what that means. It’s time for tequila. The good folks over at Hornitos know tequila, and they know great drinks. With the big day right around the corner, Hornitos is back with a new take on a classic beverage. Today we get a look at a recipe for a margarita that you will certainly require more of.
The Spicy Cucumber Margarita is for anyone looking for a twist on the signature marg. This isn’t your typical margarita, which is precisely why we like it. The Spicy Cucumber Margarita calls for Hornitos Plata Tequila, DeKuyper Triple Sec Liqueur, lemon juice, lime juice, agave nectar, mini cucumber, and jalapeno. The combination has a lot to offer, providing a bold flavor, a bit of heat, and a dose of sourness that you are bound to enjoy. Perfect for the warm Spring and Summer weather ahead, this recipe is definitely going to be one of our go-to’s.
