Sweet, juicy watermelon is hand-crushed with blanco tequila, fresh-squeezed lime juice and a dash of agave to create SOL’s refreshing, pale pink margarita – a twist on Mexico’s favorite agua fresca. Serve it over ice in a bucket glass rimmed with spicy chile con limon.
• 2/3 cup peeled & seeded watermelon chunks
• 2 oz. casa noble blanco tequila
• 1 oz. fresh-squeezed lime
• 3/4 oz. agave nectar

Directions:
1. Rub the rim of a 12 oz. bucket glass with the lime, and rim with chile con limon, set aside.

3. Add 1 cup ice, cover tightly & shake well.
4. Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice & strain the margarita over it.
