Most recipes I've seen tried to make this too complicated, but who has time to do that when all they really want is a drink? Let's get this summer started.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
1 - 1.5 shot of tequila
2 c. watermelon, diced
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. simple syrup (optional)
Lime
First things first, salt your rim. I always use a lime slice instead of water to give it even more flavor.
Pro tip: don't fall for "margarita salt." Instead, grab some coarse kosher sea salt and save your bucks for something else.
I think the right amount of watermelon per drink is about 3 small triangles. Dice them in small chunks. Side note: still obsessed with these discontinued Anthropologie plates.
Rose's sweetened lime juice is the perfect amount of sweet for this cocktail. I don't think it needs any additional sugar, but add simple syrup to your taste. Lime, however, is necessary. Slice off a large slice to squeeze in to your drink.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the diced watermelon, tequila, lime juice and some ice. Then...
