Ingredients

  • 2 oz Premium Tequila (smooth and crisp)
  • 1 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice (light and naturally sweet)
  • ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice (zesty and refreshing)
  • ½ oz Agave Syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
  • ½ oz Jalapeño-Infused Tequila (for a gentle heat)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Start by preparing your glass with a sugared and chili powder rim. Moisten the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and then dip it into a mixture of sugar and chili powder. This not only adds a flavorful touch but also gives the cocktail a unique twist, enhancing its overall flavor.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of premium tequila, 1 oz of fresh watermelon juice, ½ oz of fresh lime juice, ½ oz of agave syrup, and ½ oz of jalapeño-infused tequila. Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice. The bright green hue of the jalapeño-infused tequila adds an intriguing color to the drink, while the watermelon juice provides a refreshing touch of sweetness.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Garnish your Fiery Watermelon Margarita with a thin slice of watermelon or a fresh jalapeño wheel for a polished look that highlights the fresh ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of sweet, zesty, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Infuse Your Own Jalapeño Tequila: If you don’t have jalapeño-infused tequila, simply add a sliced jalapeño to a bottle of tequila and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Adjust the infusion time based on how much heat you prefer.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your watermelon juice, you may need to adjust the amount of agave syrup. Fresh watermelon can vary in sweetness, so taste and adjust accordingly.
