Prepare Purees
In a separate container, prepare the watermelon and strawberry purees. You can either blend fresh watermelon and strawberries in a blender until smooth, or use store-bought purees. Measure out 1 oz of each puree for layering.

Layer the Shot
In your shot glass, pour the watermelon puree first, filling it to about halfway. Next, gently pour the tequila mixture over the back of a spoon to create a layer on top of the watermelon puree.
