serves 4
3/4 cup silver tequila
1 jalapeño, sliced
1/2 teaspoon Tajín Clásico
4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (about 1 small watermelon), frozen
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup triple sec
2 tablespoons agave nectar
Garnish: lime wedge, Tajín Clásico, thinly sliced watermelon
In a Mason jar, combine tequila, jalapeño, and Tajín. Let stand for 1 hour or overnight for more spice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids. Infused tequila may be refrigerated for up to 3 months. (See note.)
In the container of a blender, place infused tequila, frozen watermelon cubes, lime juice, triple sec, and agave nectar; process until smooth.
Moisten rims of 4 chilled glasses with a lime wedge, if desired. Pour Tajín in a shallow dish, and dip rims of glasses in Tajín, if desired. Pour prepared cocktail into prepared glasses. Garnish with fresh watermelon slices, if desired.
Note:
Infusing your tequila for 1 hour will result in a lightly spiced drink. For more of a punch, let your tequila infuse for up to 1 week for maximum spice.
