Tequila And Watermelon Recipes

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the watermelon large enough for the tequila bottle's neck. Insert the tequila bottle upside down. Refrigerate and let the liquor soak into the watermelon's flesh overnight.
• Cube the melon, and skewer each cube with a wedge of lime sprinkled with salt.

Steps:

• Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
• Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Toss the watermelon, diced strawberries, sugar and salt in a large bowl to blend. Let stand until the sugar dissolves and a syrup forms, stirring occasionally, at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
• Working in batches, puree the fruit mixture with the tequila and 2 teaspoons of the lime juice, combining each batch in a large pitcher. Stir to blend. Add more lime juice if desired. Refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• For the garnish: Thread 1 strawberry, 1 lime wedge and 1 watermelon cube onto 6 skewers. Divide the agua fresca among 6 chilled glasses. Stick a skewer with garnishes into each drink and serve.

Steps:

• Fill a highball glass with ice and add tequila, watermelon, salt and a squeeze of lime. Top with soda water. Float a couple of slices of jalapeño on the drink to garnish.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the watermelon puree, tequila and lime juice.
• To sweeten, adjust with agave nectar.
• To serve, pour into glasses over ice, top each glass with seltzer, a pinch of sea salt and slices of jalapeno.
