Watermelon Margarita

This is perfect for these hot summer days! Be sure to treat yourself to this one.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup watermelon purée *see note

2 tsp lime juice

2 Tbsp tequila of choice

dash of bitters

lime wheel

sprig mint

1/4 tsp salt

pinch chilli powder

Mix on a small plate salt and chilli powder. Wipe rim of a cold rocks glass with a lime, and dip into salt & chilli mixture.

In a shaker add watermelon purée, lime juice, tequila and bitters. Shake with a couple ice cubes. Pour into a rocks glass filled with ice (if you have any large ice molds, use one large ice cube).

Garnish with mint sprig and lime wheel. Enjoy!

Notes:

For watermelon purée simply blend peeled and diced watermelon in a blender. For 1/2 cup purée I used about 150g peeled watermelon, that was on thick slice. For better results make sure your watermelon is nice a cold.
