Jalapeno Watermelon Margarita

*This recipe was found at Spicy Southern Kitchen

Sweet and spicy margaritas made with fresh watermelon puree, lime juice, Triple Sec, and jalapeno-infused tequila.

Serves: 4 (Depending who you share with!)

Ingredients

• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
• ¾ cup white tequila
• 8-10 cups watermelon chunks
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 1/3 cup Triple Sec
• ¼ cup simple syrup
• Salt, chili powder and lime juice for rimming the glasses

How to Create

1. Place tequila and about 4 slices of jalapeno in a glass measuring cup and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours depending on how spicy your jalapenos are and how spicy you want the tequila to be. Take a taste after 1 hour and decide whether it is spicy enough. If so, remove jalapeños.
2. Place watermelon (you may need to do it in batches) in a blender and blend until liquefied.
3. Pour watermelon through a fine-meshed strainer, pressing on it with the back of a spoon to get all the liquid through. Measure out 3 cups of watermelon juice.
4. In a large pitcher, combine the 3 cups watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, Triple Sec, and simple syrup.
5. Place salt with a little chili powder mixed in on a plate. Coat rims of 4 glasses with lime juice and dip in salt mixture.
6. Fill the glasses with ice and pour Margaritas into glasses. Garnish with lime slices and jalapeno slices if desired.

Notes

To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar in water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
