The new jello shot. Cucumber lime margarita. When I stumbled upon this site I could hardly wait for the next opportunity to serve a cocktail this creative way. My husband and I were hosting our monthly wine club so I tried this out on the crowd as they entered and I think it was a hit. I actually think less tequila would work well, and it would be less like a shot and more like a proper cocktail. Mix this up the evening before and let it set in the fridge. Cut it up into squares and present it how you wish.
Cucumber lime margarita (adapted from Jelly Shot Test Kitchen)
1 small cucumber (I used persian) plus one half for garnish (if desired)
1 12 oz can frozen limeade concentrate (thawed)
1 T agave nectar (optional)
2 packets Knox gelatin
3/4 c water
3/4 c agave tequila (1/2 c would also work well)
1/4 c Cointreau
In a small saucepan stir Knox gelatin in water and limeade. Turn heat on to low and stir until dissolved, about 4 minutes. Stir in agave nectar (or honey). Remove from heat. Chop up cucumber and throw into a cocktail shaker. Muddle with tequila. Strain and add into sauce pan. Stir in Cointreau. Pour into square 8x8 dish and let set in fridge overnight. Cut into about 16 squares and garnish with cucumber slice, lime zest and sprinkle of sugar if desired.
