Oaxacan Pepino

The Oaxacan pepino is inspired by Chef Fernando Olea at his flagship restaurant Sazon in Santa Fe. He named his the sazonrita, but I managed to leave without the recipe. So, this is my take on a margarita while paying homage to mezcal, the cucumber and the man.

Cucumbers are a cool and refreshing addition, because of their mild, lightly sweet flavor. That same characteristic easily translates to delicious cocktails.

How you prepare them by peeling, cutting or grating may indicate your generous nature by sharing with friends and relatives. Dreaming of extremely large cucumbers however, well, we will leave that to your imagination, or you can read about it HERE.
