Ingredients
½ cup cubed watermelon, seeds removed
1 wedge lime
2 thin jalapeño slices, seeds removed
1 oz simple syrup
1 oz lime juice
1 oz white or reposado tequila
1 oz Triple Sec
Ice cubes
Optional garnish: lime wheel, jalapeño slice, watermelon wedge
Instructions
1. Place watermelon, lime wedge, jalapeño slices, and simple syrup in a glass.
2. Mash the mixture until the watermelon is pulpy and lime and jalapeño flavors are released.
3. Pour in lime juice, tequila, and Triple Sec.
4. Add ice, stir well, and serve.
Notes
To make simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, then cool.
For a keto-friendly option, use monk fruit or stevia instead of sugar.
Garnish with a lime wheel, jalapeño slice, or watermelon wedge for presentation.
If you don’t have a muddler, the end of a sturdy utensil or potato masher works.
