Spicy Cucumber Margarita Recipe (with lots of options)

Time: 10 min

Supplies: Muddler, Glass, Ice & Your favorite combo of ingredients

Rim options:

Salt, Lime Salt or Pepper, Sugar & Salt

In a shaker:

Muddle:

1/3 cup Cucumber (Optional- you could just go for a Spicy Margarita)

Squeeze:

1/2 Lime (Lemon and Grapefruit make good substitutes)

Add:

1 oz Tequila- I like silver, but use whatever you prefer (or Jalapeno Tequila for extra spice)

1/2 oz Orange Liqueur (Optional) like cointreau, triple sec, or try St. Germain’s, or any flavor of liqueur you think sounds good

1/2 oz Hot Pepper Syrup (you could also use a teaspoon of sugar or sour mix and a slice of pepper muddled with the cucumber)

Shake for 30 seconds and pour into a margarita glass (can also use a martini glass) or for a more chilled out version (with more volume so you can enjoy it longer), use a tall glass and add Club Soda/Sparkling Water

Garnish options:

Poke 1 small Hot Pepper with a toothpick and place in glass
