Print: Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita

This cucumber jalapeño margarita recipe is so refreshing! Nothing tastes better than the combination of tequila and jalapeño — the cucumber just adds a freshness and helps to balance the heat. The longer it chills, the more jalapeño and cucumber infuse into the tequila. Serve over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with cucumber slices.
