Preparation Steps

  1. 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. 2

    Blend the Watermelon

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

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Shake It Up

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

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

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