Spicy and refreshing, this Cucumber Jalapeño Cooler is a great way to chill out after a long day or add a lil’ kick to your booze-free brunch menu. The spiciness of the pepper is balanced out by the coolness of muddling the water from a cucumber. Make it fancy by serving it in a tall glass with cucumber ribbons swirled around the glass. Your friends will think you’re a certified mixologist and, just because you might not be having alcohol doesn’t mean you don’t want to go all in on presentation.
