- 4 basil leaves
- 4 cucumber slices
- 3 jalapeno slices
- 1 tablespoon honey you could also use agave syrup or maple syrup
- 2 cups ice
- salt, lime, basil leaf and cucumber slice for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, place the cucumber slices, basil, jalapeno, lime juice and honey. Muddle the cucumber and basil with a cocktail muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, just to release the juices and herbal essence.
- Add the tequila and Grand Marnier to the cocktail shaker, along with 1 cup of ice. Cover with a lid and shake till well mixed.
- Fill 2 cocktail glasses with ½ cup each, and equally pour out the cocktail into each glass.
- Top with a splash of club soda and add garnish.
Notes
If you want to salt your rim, this cocktail tastes great with a chili rim, such as Tajin. Before adding ice to the glass, use a lime wedge to moisten the rim and then dip in salt or Tajin. Pour in ice and cocktail as instructed.
