happy cinco de mayo

{smokey watermelon-jalapeno margarita} 

ingredients:

·         1 jalapeno chile pepper

·         2 ounces tequila (I used a Blanco, or white, un-aged tequila for this)

·         1 ounce freshly squeezed lime    juice

·         1 ounce watermelon puree

·         ¾ ounce agave nectar/syrup

·         Hickory smoked salt for rimming the glass

Muddle the jalapeno in a shaker or a pint glass.

Add the tequila, lime juice, watermelon puree and agave nectar.  Shake with ice and strain into a double old fashioned glass filled with fresh ice and rimmed with hickory smoked salt.  Garnish with a slice of watermelon and lime wedge.
