To make watermelon puree, put seedless chunks of watermelon in a blender and pulse, then push the puree through a mesh sieve to make it smoother. (Cutting a whole watermelon might make your kitchen look like a Gallagher set, so it's O.K. to use precut watermelon from a supermarket.)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 parts watermelon puree
1 part silver tequila
1/2 part fresh lime juice
Seltzer
Sliced jalapeno
Coarse sea salt
Ice
Agave nectar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the watermelon puree, tequila and lime juice.
  • To sweeten, adjust with agave nectar.
  • To serve, pour into glasses over ice, top each glass with seltzer, a pinch of sea salt and slices of jalapeno.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy watermelons for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a juicer, you can blend the watermelon chunks with a little water and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • To make the watermelon-tequila shots even more refreshing, try freezing the watermelon chunks before blending.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, rim the shot glasses with Tajín or chili powder before filling them with the watermelon-tequila mixture.
  • Garnish the shots with a wedge of lime or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of flavor.
