For a spicy garnish, combine salt and chili powder in a saucer. Dip rims of glasses in lime juice or water, and dip in salt mixture to coat. Ingredients:
8 cups cubed watermelon |
1 1/2 cups white tequila |
1/2 cup orange liqueur (such as triple sec) |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup simple syrup |
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced |
cracked ice |
garnishes: fresh jalapeño slices, watermelon wedges |
Directions:
1. Puree watermelon, in batches, in a blender or food processor. Pour puree through a wire-mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a spoon; discard pulp and seeds.
2. Combine watermelon liquid, tequila, and next 4 ingredients in a large pitcher. Cover and chill 1 hour (longer for a stronger pepper flavor). Serve over ice. Garnish, if desired.
