Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh watermelon, cut into cubes and frozen
- 3 ounces silver tequila or vodka
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Tajin seasoning (plus more for the rim)
- 1 fresh lime wedge
- Handful of ice (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon – Start by cutting a fresh, ripe watermelon into small 1-inch cubes. Remove any seeds. Place the cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Step 2: Rim the Glasses – Take two serving glasses and run a lime wedge around the top rims to moisten them. Pour a generous amount of Tajin seasoning onto a small plate. Dip the moistened rims into the Tajin, rotating the glass until you have a thick, even coating of chili-lime salt.
- Step 3: Blend the Ingredients – In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, tequila (or vodka), fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and a pinch of Tajin. If you prefer an even thicker consistency, add a small handful of ice at this stage.
- Step 4: Process Until Smooth – Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a slushie-like texture. If the blender gets stuck, use a tamper or stop and stir the mixture before blending again.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve – Pour the slushie mixture carefully into your prepared glasses, being careful not to knock off the Tajin rim. Garnish with a small wedge of fresh watermelon or an extra slice of lime. Serve immediately while icy cold.
