Ingredients
- 5 cups cubed watermelon
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup*
- 1/2 cup jalapeno-infused silver tequila**
Instructions
- Place watermelon cubes and lime juice in a blender and mix until smooth.
- Using a fine mesh strainer and a spatula, pour the watermelon puree through (into a bowl) and press down with the spatula to strain out any pulp. Discard pulp.
- Pour watermelon puree into a pitcher or back into the blender and add the simple syrup and jalapeno-infused tequila. Stir or blend to mix.
- Serve over ice, garnished with limes, jalapeno slices, and watermelon cubes, if desired.
Notes
*to make simple syrup, combine 1/4 cup water with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
**To make your own jalapeno-infused tequila: Combine 2 cups of silver tequila with 1 jalapeno, sliced for 2-24 hours, depending on how spicy you want it. Remove jalapeno and strain out seeds, and it's ready to use!
