Ingredients
- 1 seedless watermelon, cut into cubes
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup water
- 3 fluid ounces vodka
- 1 splash fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
- 1 tablespoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
Instructions
- Set aside a few watermelon chunks for garnish and pass remaining watermelon pieces through a juicer. Measure out 1/2 cup and 3 ounces of watermelon juice separately. Reserve remaining watermelon juice for a different use.
- Combine 1/2 cup fresh watermelon juice, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and allow watermelon-infused simple syrup to cool, about 30 minutes.
- Combine vodka, 3 ounces watermelon juice, 1 ounce watermelon-infused simple syrup, and fresh lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice and shake well.
- Place Tajin® seasoning on a saucer. Wet the rim of your glasses with the lime you just squeezed and roll the rim in Tajin® seasoning. Pour cocktail into the cups and garnish with watermelon chunks.
- If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a blender. You will need to blend the watermelon, strain the pulp, and blend again. Repeat at least twice to minimize pulp.
- You can also use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar.
- Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of watermelon and watermelon-infused simple syrup. The actual amount of watermelon and syrup consumed will vary.
