Ingredients
For Chili Salt Rim
▢¼ cup sea salt
▢¼ cup red chili powder
▢1 lime wedge
For The Margarita
▢ice cubes (as required)
▢2 ounces fresh watermelon juice (60 ml)
▢2 ounces tequila (60 ml, preferably 100% agave silver or blanco tequila)
▢¾ ounce fresh lime juice (20 ml)
▢½ ounce fresh orange juice (15 ml)
▢½ teaspoon agave nectar (or simple syrup, more to taste)
▢1 Jalapeno (thinly sliced in round (¼th inch thick, a little goes a long way!))
▢1 watermelon wedge (for garnishing (optional))

Instructions
Rim The Margarita Glass
On a small plate, mix sea salt and chili powder.
Run a wedge of lime around the top of the glass.
Dip the rim of the glass into the salt blend at a 45-degree angle and roll it from side to side to catch the salt. Freeze or refrigerate the rimmed glasses until ready to use (optional).
Make The Margarita
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Pour in the watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and agave nectar, and add a jalapeño slice.
Secure the lid of the shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
Taste and add additional sweetener if necessary.
Strain the liquid into your prepared glass. Add a few ice cubes and serve!

Notes
The best thing about making it at home is that you can customize it according to your taste preferences. Add more watermelon juice if you want it to be lighter, increase or decrease the sweetener, add more lime juice if you want it tangier, or add more jalapeno for a stronger spicy kick.
You can also make anon-alcoholic version by skipping the tequila.
This recipe is easy to scale up if you are making it for a gathering. Double or triple the recipe and make it in a big pitcher.
If you are making a pitcher, take out the Jalapeños after a while. If you let them sit in the drink longer, they will make the margaritas too spicy.
Agave nectar is the traditional sweetener used for margaritas. You can also use simple syrup or honey in place of agave nectar. If you feel the watermelons are sweet enough, you can skip adding the sweetener.
