Cocktail of the week - Mexican Heatwave

If you like your tequila and you like it hot then this one is for you! The apple juice & cucumber cuts through the tequila and chili for a refreshing & unique drink!

You'll need:

• 50ml Tequila
• Pressed Apple Juice
• Jalapeño Peppers
• Cucumber chunks
• 1/2 a Lime
• A cocktail shaker
• Ice
• Garnish - Salt, black pepper & cayenne pepper rim

The Method:

1. Run a wedge of lime around the edge of your glass & dip in a mixture of salt, pepper & cayenne pepper. Now fill the glass with ice & set aside.
2. In your shaker, muddle a few small chunks of fresh cucumber with 1/2 a lime (2 quarter wedges) & 4 jalapeño pepper slices.
3. Fill with ice & throw in a double shot of Tequila and a double shot of pressed apple juice.
4. Shake & strain into your glass & you're done!
