Ingredients

  • 3 cups seedless watermelon chunks
  • 1.50 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1.50 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1.50 oz silver tequila
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut the seedless watermelon into chunks, removing the rind and reserving about 3 cups of the pink flesh.
  2. Blend the watermelon chunks and lime juice in a blender until smooth and frothy, for approximately 30 seconds.
  3. Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing with a spoon to release the juices and discarding the solids.
  4. To prepare optional salted rims, spread salt on a small plate, run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass, and dip the rim into the salt to coat.
  5. In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of the watermelon juice, tequila, and orange juice. Add ice, cover, and shake vigorously to mix.
  6. Fill a glass with ice, strain the cocktail into the glass, and garnish with a lime wedge.
