Spicy Cucumber Margarita

Ingredients

• 4-6 English Cucumber slices
• 4 fresh mint leaves (optional)
• 1-2 jalapeno slices
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tsp Agave nectar
• 2 oz Silver Tequila
• 0.5 oz Orange Liquor
• Ginger beer for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Place cucumber slices, mint leaves (if using), jalapeño slices, lime juice and agave nectar into shaker. Muddle ingredients well.
2. Add Tequila and orange liquor to shaker. Add enough ice to cover all the liquid. Shake until everything is well combined 30-45 seconds.
3. Strain into salt rimmed glass filled with ice. Top with ginger beer and garnish with cucumber if desired.*

*I don’t use mint and you can adjust the jalapeño based on how spicy the pepper is and how spicy you want your drink. Definitely top with ginger beer. It’s yummy!
