Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing the cucumber and mint leaves thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and set aside.

Muddle the Mint and Jalapeno
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and a slice of jalapeno. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the leaves and jalapeno to release their flavors.

Combine with Ice
