Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cubed watermelon, plus a small wedge for garnish
- Ice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more for the glass rim
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
- Lime wheel, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the cubed watermelon in a blender or food processor and blend until it liquifies. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to separate the juice from any chunks of melon. Pour the juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and the agave nectar to the shaker and cover. Shake until the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
- Place lime juice on a small saucer or plate. On a separate small plate, combine the coarse salt and Tajin seasoning. Dip the rim of a rocks glass in the lime juice, then into the seasoning mixture to coat the rim evenly.
- Pour ice into the prepared glass, then pour the watermelon mixture over the ice. Garnish with a small wedge of watermelon and a ring of lime on the rim.
Notes
- For extra chill, use frozen watermelon cubes instead of regular ice.
- Adjust agave nectar to taste for desired sweetness.
- Tajin seasoning adds a spicy, tangy note; omit if sensitive to spice.
- Ensure watermelon is ripe and sweet for best flavor.
- This mocktail is best served immediately to enjoy fresh flavors.
