Spicy Watermelon Margarita Pitcher

Serves: Eight | Prep: 20 min | Cook: 5 min

Ingredients:

Spicy Syrup:
2 jalapenos, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Watermelon Margartia Pitcher:
3 cups fresh watermelon, 2 cups puree
2 cups tequila
1/2 cup Orange Liqueur
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup Tajin spice

Garnish:
Watermelon wedges
Jalapeno slices

Directions:
In a saucepan over medium heat, add jalapeno slices, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.

Meanwhile, spread Tajin onto a flat plate.

In a blender, puree fresh watermelon until smooth.

Add the cooled jalapeno syrup to a pitcher and slightly muddle. Pour in the blended watermelon, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Stir well to combine.

Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims into the Tajin to coat.

You can either pour the cocktail directly into glasses filled with ice and garnish, or shake it vigorously in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, then strain into prepared glasses and garnish.
