Rim & Garnish
- 1
Prep the rim
Pour Tajin and optional sea salt onto a small plate and mix. Rub the lemon wedge around the outside rim of a chilled Collins or highball glass, then dip the rim into the Tajin mixture to create an even, spiced rim. Set the glass aside.
- 2
Skewer or slit the small watermelon wedge and set it aside for garnish.
Cocktail Assembly

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 6 pieces).

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
- 6
Strain the mixture into the prepared Tajin-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice.
