1
Prepare Watermelon Puree
In a blender, add the fresh watermelon chunks and blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp, yielding about 4 oz of watermelon juice.
2
Make Jalapeño Syrup
In a saucepan, combine equal parts of water and sugar and add sliced jalapeños. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool before straining out the jalapeños.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Bahnez Mezcal, 4 oz of watermelon puree, 1 oz of lime juice, and 0.5 oz of jalapeño syrup.
4
Shake and Strain
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass.

5
Add Garnish
Garnish your drink with a slice of watermelon and a slice of jalapeño on the rim of the glass.
