Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Glass

If desired, rim your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat.

2

Blend the Watermelon

Cut the fresh watermelon into chunks and place them in a blender. Blend until smooth to create watermelon juice.

3

Muddle the Mint

In a shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and gently muddle them using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their oils and flavor.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the blended watermelon juice, El Mayor Silver Tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker with the muddled mint.

5

Shake It Up

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine all ingredients well.

6

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, garnish with a mint sprig or watermelon slice.
