Cheers, friends!

HOW TO MAKE A CUCUMBER Jalapeño Margarita

Because there are so few ingredients, spicy margaritas are super easy to make.

1. Combine the ingredients a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors of the cucumber and jalapeño to be absorbed into the liquor.
2. Strain and pour into 4 separate salt-rimmed glasses.
3. Serve with ice, fresh cucumber, and lime.

Make sure to pick up some Margarita salt to get those rims perfectly salted!

Can this Jalapeño Margarita be made in advance?

For sure! In fact, they are a bit better when they are made in advance. Make them early and refrigerate until ready to use. This allows the flavors to absorb into the cocktail.

However, don’t add the ice until you are ready to serve. Otherwise, your margaritas will become watered down.
