Description
A refreshing summer drink.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cubed Watermelon
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 8 ounces, fluid Tequilla
- 7 ounces, fluid Triple Sec, Divided
- 8 slices THIN SLICES JALAPENO
- 3 Tablespoons Coarse Salt
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- Lime Wedges, For Garnish (optional)
Preparation
In a blender, puree the watermelon and sugar until smooth. Pour the puree through a fine mesh strainer. Transfer the liquid to a pitcher and add the lime juice, tequila, 6 ounces of the Triple Sec and the jalapeno slices. Stir to combine and let sit for at least 2 hours. (This amount and time with the jalapeno will give the drink a little bit of a kick. For more punch, add additional jalapeno slices and/or let it infuse longer before serving.)
When ready to serve, combine the salt with the chili powder in a shallow dish. In a second small plate, add the remaining 1 ounce of Triple Sec. Dip the rims of 4 glasses in the Triple Sec, then coat them in the salt and chili mixture. Divide the margarita between the 4 glasses and garnish each with a lime wedge.
