WATERMELON MARGARITA
Mixing cocktails may seem intimidating, but it's actually quite intuitive once you understand how to balance the alcohol, sweetness and acidity. In "3-Ingredient Cocktails" (Ten Speed Press, 2017), Robert Simonson presents the formula for a perfect margarita: 1½ ounces tequila, 1 ounce Cointreau and 3/4 ounce lime juice, shaken and served. Even easier to memorize, this version uses 6 ounces fresh watermelon juice - a sweet but subtle nod to summer - and 2 ounces each tequila, Cointreau and lime juice. Be sure to taste and add more watermelon juice if your margarita is too boozy, and extra lime juice or even a pinch of salt if it's too sweet.

Steps:
- Prepare the salted rim, if using: In a small shallow bowl or plate, combine the sea salt and Tajín. Set aside.
- In a shaker filled with ice, combine the watermelon juice, tequila, Cointreau (if using), lime juice and jalapeño (if using). Shake to combine. (Note: The watermelon flavor shines brighter without the Cointreau, but the liqueur takes the drink into more traditional margarita territory. If you'd like to compare, first try the mixture without, the liqueur, then add 1 ounce of it per serving.)
- Using one of the squeezed lime halves, run it along the rim of two rocks glasses, then dip the rims into the salt mixture. Fill the glasses with ice, then strain the margaritas into the glasses and enjoy immediately.

Tips:
- Choose ripe watermelon: The best watermelon margaritas start with ripe, juicy watermelon. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when you tap it.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to watermelon margaritas. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it will not have the same flavor.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your watermelon, lime juice, and tequila before making your margaritas will help them stay cold and refreshing.
- Use a good quality tequila: The type of tequila you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your margaritas. Choose a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Garnish your margaritas with fresh watermelon, lime wedges, or mint sprigs: This will add a festive touch and make your margaritas even more refreshing.
