CILANTRO LIME COCKTAIL MIXER

Steps:

• Place water, honey and lime zest in a small saucepan over medium heat and completely dissolve honey. Once mixture is completely combine, remove from heat and let cool. Add lime juice and stir to combine.
• Pour simple syrup in a container or jar that you can seal. Add the chopped cilantro, seal container and place in the fridge to cool overnight. Once cooled completely, strain the cilantro from the simple syrup. Store simple syrup in fridge.
• To make a cocktail, add ice to a cup, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the simple syrup (depending how sweet you want your drink), 2-3 tablespoons of hard alcohol, then top the rest off with soda water and garnish with lime wedge and cilantro.
• *My favorite cocktail includes: muddle 3 pieces of jalapeño with the simple syrup, add tequila (jalapeño infused) and top with soda water and cilantro on top!

CUCUMBER CILANTRO MARGARITA

Steps:

• To salt the rim of your glass, fill a shallow bowl with water. On a small plate, pour a circle of salt. Dip the rim of a rocks glass or margarita glass in the water, then dip it into the salt and set it aside.
• In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle the 4 cucumber slices with 1 cilantro sprig until the cucumber releases most of its juices and the cilantro is smashed and fragrant. Add the ice cubes, tequila, lime juice, agave syrup, and triple sec. Cover and shake vigorously for 4 seconds. Pour the drink, including the ice, into the glass. Serve the margarita garnished with the remaining cucumber slice and cilantro sprig.
