For a nonalcoholic version, skip the tequila and add a little water to help blend the mixture. Ingredients:
1 seedless watermelon (about 6 lbs.) |
3/4 cup lemon juice |
2 cups silver (also called blanco) tequila |
Directions:
1. Cut melon into chunks and discard rind. Purée chunks in batches in a food processor. Pour mixture through a strainer into a bowl. Pour 4 cups into another bowl; whisk in lemon juice. Save any remaining watermelon juice for another use. Pour juice mixture into 4 ice cube trays* and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
2. Make drinks: Whirl half the watermelon cubes in a food processor until broken up, then add 1 cup tequila and whirl until blended. Pour into a pitcher and repeat with remaining ingredients.
3. *A standard ice cube tray has 14 cube slots.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per drink.
