Cucumber and Jalapeño Margarita

Boil 1/2 cup of water. Add in 4 Purecane™ packets once the water is boiling. Remove from heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool completely by keeping it in the fridge while you do the next step.

Muddle ½ a sliced medium cucumber and ½ of a sliced, de-seeded jalapeño in the bottom of a pitcher or a bowl. If you don't have a muddler, use the back of a spoon or fork to do this. (Tip: if you want more spice, add the jalapeño seeds! They've got all the heat).

Combine the cooled simple syrup with ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 6-7 limes), 2 oz Triple Sec, and 6 oz tequila in the pitcher over your muddled cucumber and jalapeño mixture. Stirs a few times to combine the flavors. Serve over ice, garnish with jalapeño, lime, and cucumber slices, and enjoy. (Recipe courtesy of Purecane™)
