Preparation
Chef’s notes
For a spicy watermelon margarita, combine the tequila with half a thinly sliced jalapeño. Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes before adding it to your drink.
For a frozen watermelon margarita, cut and freeze the watermelon at least a few hours in advance. Blend the frozen watermelon with the lime juice and tequila to create a cool, frosty marg.
For a sparkling watermelon margarita, top your glass with sparkling water.
Salt the rim of the glass for added flavor.
Adjust the spice level by controlling the infusion time of the jalapeño.
