Love margaritas, but not the lime squeezing? Let your blender do the work. Whizz whole limes with cucumber, chillies and tequila, then stick the jug in the fridge until the doorbell rings.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber, roughly chopped
  • 8 unwaxed limes, scrubbed and quartered, plus extra to serve (optional)
  • 2 jalapeño chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped, plus extra to serve (optional)
  • 50ml sugar syrup
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 400ml tequila
  • 200ml triple sec

To serve

  • sea salt flakes
  • Cooks’ Ingredients Mexican Style Seasoning

Method

  1. Put all the margarita ingredients in a high-speed blender, then whizz to a liquid, working in batches if needed. Strain through a sieve over a bowl, letting the liquid drip through without pressing it, then discard the pulp. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  2. When ready to serve, mix the salt and Mexican seasoning on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Dip the rim of your glasses in water, then roll in the spicy salt mixture. Fill the glasses with ice and pour the chilled margarita over. Add a jalapeño or lime slice if you’re feeling fancy.

And to drink...
