First things first, let us identify what Pepino means, and that is Spanish for cucumber. Therefore, prepare yourself for a fantastic cucumber cocktail. Fun Fact: this drink is a fan favorite of Justin Timberlake so if you’re curious to know what it’s like to sip like a VIP, this is the cocktail for you.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 oz Tequila (preferably Milagro)
• 3/4 oz Triple Sec
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• 3 Slices Cucumber
• 6 Cilantro Leaves
• 3/4 oz Simple Syrup
• 1/4 oz Egg White
• Garnish: Cucumber Slice

PREPARATION

Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, mash cucumber slices, cilantro, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and egg white while filling the shaker to the top with ice. Shake 20-30 seconds to ensure the egg is mixed and so the drink is chilled. Pour cocktail into a tall glass and garnish with the remaining cucumber slice.
