Jalapeno Cucumber Margarita

June 29, 2020

The one I made on this date I wasn’t to hip on, the one I made July 14 I was much happier with. I made them hotter with the jalapeno and the cool cucumber counteracted the heat. 

½ to 1 whole Jalapeno

½ medium size cucumber

4 oz Jimmy Buffet Key Lime Tequila

3 oz Triple Sec

1 fresh Lime squeezed

1 oz Simple Syrup

Rim the glasses with lime and then sugar. Then fill with ice.

Muddle the Jalapeno and Cucumber with a small about of granulated sugar in a shaker.  Add the Tequila and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.  The longer it sits, the more the heat will infuse from the pepper. Fill the shaker with ice and the rest of the ingredients.  Shake your heart out and then pour into the glasses.  Garnish with a julienne slice of Jalapeno!
