Spicy Cucumber Kiwi Margarita

Serves 4

For The Juice:
2 cucumbers, peeled and seeded
2 kiwi, peeled
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/2 cup fresh lime juice

For The Infused Tequila:
1 1/2 cups reposada tequila
1 jalapeno, quartered

For The Rim:
1 tablespoon tajin
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Optional garnish
Slice of lime
Slice of cucumber
Slice of kiwi

Instructions
In a blender, combine the cucumber, kiwi, agave and lime juice. Blend on high until mixture is completely smooth. Place a fine mesh sieve over a glass measuring cup or bowl and pour the cucumber mixture through the sieve. Use a spoon to mash down on the solids to extract every bit of juice from the pulp. You should have about 2 cups of juice. Cover and chill.
In a glass jar add the jalapeño and cover with reposado tequila. Cover and refrigerate until chilled 2-4 hours, the longer it steeps the spicier it gets.

For each margarita:
Combine the tajin, salt and sugar in a shallow bowl. Add water to another shallow bowl and dip the rims of your glasses first in the water and then into the tajin mixture to rim the glass.
To a cocktail shaker, add ice, 3 ounces of tequila and 2 ounces of juice. Shake well and pour into glasses with a little ice. Garnish.
