SPICY JALAPEÑO WATERMELON MARGARITAS

Fresh watermelon margaritas with a “kick” with some fresh jalapeños.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fresh watermelon juice (**see instructions below**)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup Triple Sec (or any orange liqueur)
thin slices of fresh jalapeño
garnish: salt or sugar to rim the glasses, frozen watermelon cubes, lime slices

DIRECTIONS:

In a shaker, add watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and a slice or two of fresh jalapeño. (Start with less jalapeño and taste test – you can always add more!)

Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to gently muddle the jalapeño to release the flavor. Shake the drink to combine. Pour into salt- or sugar-rimmed glasses, then garnish with watermelon ice cubes and slices of lime if desired.

**To make fresh watermelon juice, you can either blend up a bunch of watermelon in a blender until smooth. Then strain the juice out through a fine-mesh strainer. (Or if you have a juicer, you can just add the fresh watermelon directly to the juicer.)

Strawberry Watermelon Popsicles

INGREDIENTS:

8 ounces strawberries, stems removed (about a pint)
2 cups diced seedless watermelon
Juice – 1/2 a lime
4-5 Tablespoons sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Add all ingredients into blender and blend until well pureed. Pour into popsicle molds, ice cube trays or small paper water cups and freeze over night.

We used small bathroom disposable water cups, it made them almost push pop size.
