Nothing tastes better than tequila and jalapeno; the cucumber adds a freshness that helps to mute the jalapeno's bite. The longer it chills, the more jalapeno and cucumber infuses into the tequila. Serve over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with cucumber slices.

Tips:

Choose ripe, firm cucumbers and jalapeños for the best flavor.
Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers and jalapeños thinly, so they'll infuse the margarita with their flavor more easily.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid to shake the margarita ingredients together.
Serve the margarita immediately over ice, garnished with a cucumber slice and a jalapeño pepper.
For a spicier margarita, use more jalapeños. For a milder margarita, use fewer jalapeños or remove the seeds from the jalapeños before slicing them.
You can also add other ingredients to the margarita to taste, such as lime juice, orange juice, or agave nectar.
