Watermelon Jalapeño Margaritas, The perfect birthday cocktail.
This Watermelon Jalapeño Margarita encompasses all my favorite things, margarita, tequila and spice! Since it is my birthday week and all… (joking! But seriously…) I wanted to share a favorite cocktail for you to kick off the weekend and your summer festivities. This drink is full of flavor and will no doubt be a crowd pleaser at any backyard barbecue (or birthday party!).
Ingredients
- 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup white tequila
- Watermelon Lemonade Juice
- ⅓ cup Triple Sec
- salt, chili powder, and lime juice for salting rims of glasses
Directions
- Place tequila and about 4 slices of jalapeno in a glass measuring cup and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours depending on how spicy your jalapenos are and how spicy you want the tequila to be. Take a taste after 1 hour and decide whether it is spicy enough. If so, remove jalapeños.
- In a large pitcher, combine the 3 cups watermelon lemonade juice, tequila, lime juice, Triple Sec, and simple syrup.
- Place salt with a little chili powder mixed in on a plate. Coat rims of 4 glasses with lime juice and dip in salt mixture.
- Fill the glasses with ice and pour Margaritas into glasses. Garnish with lime slices and jalapeño slices if desired.
