If you're a Margarita fan, you'll love this drink, which is made with mezcal, tequila's smoky cousin.

Provided by Philip Ward

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 jalapeño, halved lengthwise
3/4 cup tequila blanco
2 cups 3/4" cubes seedless watermelon
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons Simple Syrup
