Chile Watermelon Margarita

You won’t see tequila crop up on here very often, as I’m not a fan, personally, but my darling goblin bride does and so once in a while I try making something with it for her. This was a result of today’s experiment, as I wanted to surprise her with something.

4 oz spiced watermelon puree
2 oz Patron Silver
½ oz lime juice
¼ oz Blood Orange Cointreau

Combine with a handful of ice, blend, and serve.

The watermelon puree was made by blending the following and then triple straining through increasingly fine strainers.

1½ cups of fresh watermelon
¾ oz simple syrup
½ oz lime juice
⅛ tsp New Mexico chile powder
A nice pinch of lime
