Jalapeno and Cucumber Margarita

Jalapeno and Cucumber Margarita

Nothing tastes better than tequila and jalapeno; the cucumber adds a freshness that helps to mute the jalapeno’s bite. The longer it chills, the more jalapeno and cucumber infuses into the tequila. Serve over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with cucumber slices.
