Jalapeno and Cucumber Margarita image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English cucumbers are best for this recipe because they are less watery and have thinner skin. If you use regular cucumbers, you may need to peel and seed them first.
  • Use fresh jalapeños. Fresh jalapeños will give your margarita more flavor and heat. If you don't have fresh jalapeños, you can use canned jalapeños, but be sure to drain and rinse them first.
  • Muddle the jalapeños and cucumbers. Muddle the jalapeños and cucumbers in a cocktail shaker to release their flavors. You can also use a mortar and pestle.
  • Use a good quality tequila. A good quality tequila will make a big difference in the flavor of your margarita. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
  • Serve your margarita with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt. A lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt will add a refreshing and flavorful touch to your margarita.
