Bahan-bahan

1 porsi

2 ½ cups 1-inch cubed watermelon
2 tablespoons light agave nectar or simple syrup
¼ cup watermelon juice
2 ounces silver/blanco tequila (3 tablespoons )
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 small lime) (2 tablespoons )
1 thin slice jalapeno (optional)
Kosher or margarita salt or Tajin (for the rim)
To garnish: fresh lime slices, small slice of melon, jalapeno
Ice
1 batch watermelon juice (about 1 ½ cups)
12 ounces silver/blanco tequila ((1 ½ cups))
6 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (about 6 small limes) (¾ cup)

Langkah-langkah

Rim the glass(es): Run a lime wedge around the edge to moisten the rim of the glass, then dip in salt or Tajin. Fill with ice.
Make the watermelon juice: Place the cut melon cubes and agave in a blender and puree until very smooth. If it's pulpy, pass it through a mesh strainer, using a big spoon to squish the liquid through. Discard the pulp. You should be left with about 1 1/2 cups juice.
For a single margarita: fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila, and a jalapeno slice (if using). Shake for 30 seconds, then strain into a prepared glass. Enjoy immediately, garnished as desired.
For a pitcher: Add the lime juice and tequila to the blender with the watermelon juice and pulse to combine. Transfer to a serving pitcher if desired. Pour into prepared glasses or refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 6 hours. Immediately before serving, give the mixture a vigorous stir, then pour into ice-filled glasses. Garnish as desired.
