- 3-4 thin slices Cucumber

- Ice

Instructions
- Prepare your glass: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass and dip it in salt.
- Muddle the cucumber and jalapeño: In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the cucumber slices and jalapeño slices.
- Add liquids: Pour in the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar.
- Add ice: Fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake well: Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the shaker is well-chilled.
- Strain: Double strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
