Ingredients

2 1/4-inch slices Cucumber
6 large Mint leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lime Juice
¼ teaspoon fresh, seeded, diced Jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon granulated Sugar
3 ounces chilled Vodka
cocktail shaker
muddler

Instructions

Muddle together the cucumber slices, mint leaves, lime juice, sugar and jalapeno. Combine the muddled ingredients in a shaker with the vodka and ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Note: the spiciness of jalapeno peppers can vary greatly. If you taste the muddled ingredients and would like more heat, muddle additional jalapeno (1/8 teaspoon at a time) to reach your preferred spice. The drink should be balanced between the refreshing ingredients and the heat. Also once shaken with ice, the heat becomes less prominent.
