Ingredients

INFUSED TEQUILA:
  • 1 cup silver tequila
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers, sliced into rounds
MARGARITAS:
  • 3 cups honeydew melon cubes, frozen
  • 3 cups Ice cubes
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp honey
TO SERVE:
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (or cane sugar or larger grain sugar)
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground sea salt
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • 2 Tbsp light corn syrup
  • additional slices of jalapeño pepper, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice honeydew melon, discarding rinds.  Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet and freeze until frozen.  If not using right away, place frozen cubes into a large ziplock bag and keep in the freezer.
  2. Combine tequila and jalapeno slices in a glass jar or bowl, and let stand 2-4 hours.  Strain solids and discard, keeping the infused tequila.
  3. To a small plate, add corn syrup.  To another small plate, add sugar, salt and lime zest, using a fork to combine.  Dip rims of serving glasses in corn syrup, then in the sugar/salt mixture.  Set aside.
  4. Add frozen honeydew cubes, ice cubes, water, honey, lime juice, and infused tequila to a large blender.  Blend until smooth, about a minute or so.
  5. Pour into serving glasses and enjoy!
