SPICY WATERMELON MARGARITA

My favourite way to do a margie - spicy, fresh, tropical, over ice with a hot and salty rim. Perfect for when the sun is shining this summer! Sits nicely alongside my Coconut Kingfish Tostadas.

Super Easy

Ingredients
120ml Altos Plata
75ml fresh lime juice

30ml jalapeno agave syrup*

200ml fresh watermelon juice*
Tajin salt*
2 thin sliced watermelon half moons 

Method

Step 1. Chill your glass in the freezer or fill with ice.
Step 2. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice, add tequila, lime juice, jalapeno agave syrup and watermelon juice, shake until the outside of your cocktail shaker feels cold. 
Step 3. Grab your glass and rub the rim of the glass with lime and dunk into a shallow bowl full of tajin salt. Add ice and pour over your margie, garnish with a thin slice of watermelon and enjoy.

Notes
* To make the jalapeno agave syrup, add 259ml (350g) agave syrup to a small pot along with 3 jalapeno chilli finely sliced (you can add more or less pending your love for heat!). Slowly heat over medium heat for 10-15 mins and then allow to steep for a further 5 mins, before straining off and allowing to cool for use. This recipe will make more than you need for these drinks but can be happily stored in the fridge for your next margie session.
* Fresh watermelon juice is made by simply blending watermelon until fully processed, pour juice over a fine mesh sieve into a jug to remove pulp. Place in fridge until needed. 
* For the tajin salt, mix 1tbs tajin with 3tbs salt and place in a shallow bow to use to coat rim of glasses. This salt can be stored for future margies.
