Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 Topline Farms™ mini cucumber, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)

• 3 - 4 slices fresh jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat)

Instructions:

1. Rim the Glass

2. Muddle the Base

   In a cocktail shaker, muddle mini cucumber and jalapeño slices to release their flavor.
