Ingredients
  

  • 1 liter blanco tequila
  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 2-3 fresh jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Wash the cucumbers and jalapeños thoroughly.
  • Slicing: Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. Cut the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds for a milder infusion; leave some seeds if you want more heat.
  • Infusion Setup: Place the cucumber and jalapeño slices into a large, airtight glass jar. Pour the tequila over the slices, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  • Infusion Process: Seal the jar and shake it gently. Store it in a cool, dark place.
  • Daily Shake: Gently shake the jar once a day to evenly distribute the flavors.
  • Infusion Duration: Let the mixture sit for 2-3 days. Taste it daily to ensure the desired level of heat and flavor.
  • Straining: After the infusion period, use a fine mesh sieve to strain the tequila, removing all solids.
  • Storage: Pour the strained tequila into a clean, airtight bottle. Store in a cool, dark place.

Notes

  • Use high-quality, 100% agave blanco tequila for the best results.
  • Adjust the number of jalapeños and infusion time to control the heat level.
  • Fresh ingredients are key to a bright, crisp flavor.
