CUCUMBER-MINT MARGARITA
This recipe is sponsored by Cointreau. We take advantage of the end-of-summer abundance of cucumbers and fresh mint and update The Original Margarita, one of the most popular classic cocktails in the country. The recipe has been around for over 70 years and is still made with just three simple ingredients: Cointreau, tequila and lime. In this version, we start by muddling the cucumber and mint until both are fragrant and the mint has released its natural oils. Cointreau elevates this cocktail with its highly aromatic yet balanced flavor profile. Once shaken with plenty of ice and served in a glass with a salt rim, it is the most refreshing cocktail you will have this season.

Steps:
- Rub the rim of a rocks glass with 1 lime wedge, then dip the rim in coarse salt.
- Muddle the mint and cucumber in a cocktail shaker with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon until the cucumber is broken up and the mint is bruised, 5 to 6 times. Add the Cointreau, tequila and lime juice. Fill the shaker three-quarters of the way with ice and shake well. Pour into the prepared glass and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

Steps:
- Set 2 ice cubes aside. Place remaining ice cubes in a martini glass and fill with water to chill the glass.
- Combine 3 slices cucumber, mint, and melon liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Mash thoroughly with a cocktail muddler. Add lemon-flavored vodka, vermouth, and 2 reserved ice cubes; cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty; this is how you know the liquid is the same temperature as the ice.
- Dump the ice water from the martini glass. Strain martini into the glass and garnish with remaining cucumber slice.

JALAPENO AND CUCUMBER MARGARITA
Nothing tastes better than tequila and jalapeno; the cucumber adds a freshness that helps to mute the jalapeno's bite. The longer it chills, the more jalapeno and cucumber infuses into the tequila. Serve over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with cucumber slices.
