Cucumber Serrano Margarita

What you’ll need for one beverage:

-3 slices of cucumber, skins removed

-5 thin slices of Serrano pepper, seeds included (if you want to lessen the heat, remove the seeds. Or remove the pepper from the whole thing, and quit your whining you damned wuss.)

-1 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice

-3/4 oz simple syrup

-2 oz. silver tequila

-ice

-cucamelons and cucamelon vine for garnish (not mandatory, but kinda mandatory)

To make:

Muddle the cucumber and the peppers in the bottom of your shaker. Add the other ingredients, fill with ice, and shake thoroughly. Prep a lowball glass with fresh ice, and strain shaker contents into glass. Garnish, and drink up…and take the Serrano pepper kick like a boss.
