Ingredients
2 cups (320g) seedless watermelon cubes
1 lime wedge
1 pinch of kosher salt

22.5 ml lime juice
1 thin slice of jalapeño, plus extra for garnish

Step 2
Half-fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, jalapeño, and 60 ml of the watermelon puree. Shake vigorously until well chilled.
Step 3
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with a watermelon wedge and a slice of jalapeño.
