Maria's Margarita

PX • Alexandria, VA
Mixologist Todd Thrasher created this margarita to entice his wife into visiting him at PX, the 1920s-style speakeasy above the restaurant Eamonn's: A Dublin Chipper. The margarita's flavors are based on a spicy Salvadoran chile mix she likes to sprinkle on cucumbers.
ingredients
  • 1 lime wedge and spice mix (1 teaspoon each of superfine sugar, cayenne pepper and sea salt)
  • 2 Cucumber Ice Cubes
  • 2 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce Cointreau or other triple sec
  • 1 ounce Cucumber Mix
  • 1 cucumber wheel
directions
  1. Moisten the outer rim of a martini glass with the lime wedge and coat lightly with the spice mix. Put the Cucumber Ice Cubes in a cocktail shaker. Add the tequila, Cointreau and Cucumber Mix. Shake well and strain into the prepared martini glass. Garnish with the cucumber wheel.
