Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups Tequila Blance
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
4 cups seedless watermelon
1 tablespoon simple syrup or agave nectar (as needed)
1/8 cup kosher salt (for glass rim)

Steps:

  • Blend the ingredients: Place tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and seedless watermelon in a blender and give 'em a good whirl. (You may have to do it in two batches depending on the size of your blender.) Note: If you happen have a juicer, simply juice the watermelon and stir it with the other ingredients in a pitcher.
  • Strain out the watermelon solids: Pour the ingredients through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the solids to get as much liquid out as you can.
  • Prep the glasses: Assuming you imbibe with flair, take a small plate or bowl and fill it with the salt. Next, rub the rim of a cocktail or coupe glass (or a canning jar) with a wedge of a wedge of lime. Dip the glass into the salt and give it a small turn or two.
  • Serve and garnish: Pour the cocktail into the prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
