Ingredients
- 4 fl oz watermelon juice (see notes)
- 1 fl oz tequila
- 1 fl oz triple sec eg cointreau
- ½ fl oz lime juice (½ oz is approx ½ lime)
- 2 slices fresh jalepeno or more/less to taste
- salt and chili to rim glass
Instructions
- First make your watermelon juice - see below. This can be done ahead and refrigerated.
- Put some salt and a little chili on a small plate and mix. Rub the rim of a glass with a slice of lime then dip in the salt-chili mixture to form a salt rim.
- Put the jalepeno slices in a cocktail shaker and muddle a little to release a little juice. (No need to do this if you plan to shake a lot or want less spicy)
- Add the watermelon juice, tequila, tripe sec and lime juice along with a few pieces of ice. Shake a minute until well chilled.
- Pour into the prepared glass, add ice if you like to chill further, and serve.
Notes
To make watermelon juice, puree around 1 cup (225g) of watermelon chunks then strain through a relatively fine strainer to remove seeds and large pieces of pulp and you should get a little over the amount of juice needed for this.
