Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups watermelon chunks will be turned into juice
  • 2 oz tequila I used Jose Cuervo Especial, Blue Agave Gold Tequila
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 lime juice
  • 1/2 to soak the rim of the glass
  • Spanglish Asadero Chile Limon to rim the glass
  • ice for each glass

Instructions

  • In a blender, blend the watermelon. I did this on the smoothie setting of my Instant Pot blender. Don't worry about the seeds, we will be sifting this through a colander.
  • Once done blended, use a strainer over a large measuring cup or cup and sift the liquid through. I use a spoon to do so faster. Set aside.
  • Next, add the tequila, honey, half the juice of a lime and watermelon juice you just prepared into a cocktail shaker. Shake well for about 15 seconds.
  • On a small plate, spread about 1/4 cup Spanglish Asadero Chile Limon.
  • Use the second half of the lime to moisten the rim of the glass.
  • Press the edges of the glass into the small plate with the Spanglish Asadero Chile Limon.
  • Add ice, watermelon juice mixture, into the rimmed glass and enjoy!
