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®)

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
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.

Cook’s Notes:

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.
