This slushy blender cocktail is perfect for whiling away the summer hours.
Ingredients
4 servings
Combine 3 1/2 cups watermelon pieces, frozen + 1/2"-thick jalapeño slice, with seeds + 6 ounces tequila blanco + 4 ounces simple syrup + 2 ounces fresh lime juice + 3 cups ice optional garnish: Watermelon wedges and sliced jalapeños.
Head to the farmers' market for peak-season fruit. Freeze the fruit in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Purée ingredients in a blender until smooth and very thick. Divide among glasses and serve.
Cold Facts:
The drier the ice, the better. Melting ice makes for a watery cocktail.
No need to upgrade your blender. The old one will do the trick just fine.
Texture Matters:
Frozen drinks should look too thick when poured into the glass. They will loosen immediately.

Back to Top很好吃!口味平衡,通常,depending on the spiciness of the jalapeño. Came out rather thick not sure if that meant it needed more ice, or less. I halved the syrup, using agave syrup because I didn't want to take the time to make simple syrup (I know, it's not that big of a deal!). Also used a few more ounces of tequila, because I wanted to taste that, too. I only marked it 3 stars because I made changes.

This is our 2016 go to summer cocktail. Only substitution is date syrup for simple syrup and we use all frozen watermelon-no ice.

I made this last summer and it was fantastic! The jalapeno doesn't make it spicy, which I expected, but does keep the drink from being too sweet from the watermelon. I'm looking forward to making it again this summer.
