Mason Jar Jalapeño Margaritas

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. tequila
• 2 oz. lime juice
• 3 cucumber slices
• 1.5 oz triple sec
• 3 slices of jalapeño
• Handful of ice
• Club soda, ginger beer or ginger kombucha for topping

Directions:

1. First combine the tequila, lime juice and cucumbers in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to muddle the cucumbers, tequila and lime juice together. Then add in triple sec (or you could do orange liquor), 3 slices of jalapeño and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously to get the jalapeño flavor to mix into the drink.
   
   
2. Take an empty glass and put lime around the rim and then place the rim in 1 tbsp of salt (I also love the chile lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s - this would be a good option too!). Add ice to the glass and then pour the drink over the ice. Top with club soda for a unique twist to the margarita or a little bit of ginger beer or kombucha to make it unique! Enjoy.
