Servings: 4 drinks
Ingredients
- 1 cup tequila
- 1 jalapeño
- 4 cups watermelon cubed (about ¼ of a large watermelon)
- ½ cup lime juice from about 4-5 limes
Instructions
- Pour the 1 cup of tequila into a jar and add 5 slices of jalapeño. Let sit in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Juice your limes and set aside.
- Slice your watermelon into cubes and place into your blender, then puree until smooth. You should end with about 3 cups of liquid.Note: If your watermelon was very fibrous or seedy, or if you just want a smoother and cleaner mixture, pour the watermelon puree from the blender through a fine mesh strainer into a large jar or bowl.
- Once an hour has passed for the jalapeños in tequila, either add all ingredients into a shaker and shake to combine, or pour measured ingredients into individual cups and stir each to mix together. If you're pouring into individual cups each gets: ¾ cup watermelon juice, 1.5oz spicy tequila, and 1oz lime juice. Note: you can remove the jalapeños from the tequila at this time – leaving them in will result in the drink continuing to get spicier.
