Ingredients
- 1/3 large watermelon, rind removed and cubed (about 7-8 cups)
- 1 jalapeno, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- lime or orange flavored sparkling water (such as Waterloo, Spindrift, or La Croix)
- tequila blanco
- limes wedges and salt for glass rim
Instructions
- Add the watermelon to a large blender and process until pureed. Remove to a bowl or pitcher
- pour the lime juice, lemon juice, and jalapeno into the blender and process until pureed. Add to the watermelon juice and stir to combine. *If you blend the jalapeno with the watermelon it turns an ugly brown color. It tastes the same but doesn't look as appealing
To Serve
- To salt the rim: pour salt on a small plate and spread into a thin circle a little larger than the rim of the glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a 12-16oz glass and dip the glass in the salt. Fill the glass half way with ice
- add 2 oz of tequila
- add 6 oz of mix
- top with 2-4 oz sparkling water
- stir to combine and then enjoy (responsibly)
