Delicious Skinny Jalapeno Watermelon Margaritas that are naturally sweetened with watermelon juice and a touch of agave. So easy to make and perfect sweet and spicy. The ultimate summer margarita! Options to make a small batch or a pitcher to share!

Ingredients:

¼ cup Silver Tequila
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 small lime)
¼ cup fresh watermelon juice*
2-4 jalapeño slices, depending on how spicy you like it.
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Ice, for shaking
Coarsely ground sea salt

Instructions:

Add salt to a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of the glass; dip the top of the glass in the salt, rolling from side to side until well coated.
Next fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, lime juice, watermelon juice, jalapeno slices, and agave nectar. Put on the lid and shake for 15-30 seconds; strain the liquid into a glass and garnish with a fresh watermelon wedge. (You can also add a few jalapeno slices to the bottom of the glass, but only if you like it extra spicy!) Taste and add extra sweetener if necessary.
