For a milder spice level, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before adding it to the pitcher. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, increase the amount of simple syrup to taste. Adjust the amount of jalapeño and cucumber slices based on your preferred level of infusion. Use high-quality tequila and orange liqueur for the best flavor. For a less salty rim, use a mixture of salt and sugar. Make a large batch ahead of time for easy entertaining. Just be sure to remove the jalapeño after a few hours to prevent the margarita from becoming too spicy.
