Ingredients

  • 4 fl oz watermelon juice (see notes)
  • 1 fl oz tequila
  • 1 fl oz triple sec eg cointreau
  • ½ fl oz lime juice (½ oz is approx ½ lime)
  • 2 lices fresh jalepeno or more/less to taste
  • salt and chili to rim glass

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First make your watermelon juice - see below. This can be done ahead and refrigerated.
  2. Put some salt and a little chili on a small plate and mix. Rub the rim of a glass with a slice of lime then dip in the salt-chili mixture to form a salt rim.
  3. Put the jalepeno slices in a cocktail shaker and muddle a little to release a little juice. (No need to do this if you plan to shake a lot or want less spicy)
  4. Add the watermelon juice, tequila, tripe sec and lime juice along with a few pieces of ice. Shake a minute until well chilled.
  5. Pour into the prepared glass, add ice if you like to chill further, and serve.

Notes

  • To make watermelon juice, puree around 1 cup (225g) of watermelon chunks then strain through a relatively fine strainer to remove seeds and large pieces of pulp and you should get a little over the amount of juice needed for this.
