WinnieAb's Notes:
approximately 4 cups/32 ounces cubed seedless watermelon, tossed into a blender Ask a question about this ingredient
juice of 2-3 seeded limes (or lemons), preferably organic (the amount of lime/lemon juice you use is really up to you...I would add the juice of 2 limes/lemons, taste, and add more if you like) Ask a question about this ingredient
1 jalapeno chile, sliced into 1-2 inch pieces (seed it if you want a mild spicy flavor) Ask a question about this ingredient
splash or more of vodka- optional Ask a question about this ingredient
Blend the watermelon until smooth (you will end up with about 28 ounces). Add the lime juice and blend again.
Ask a question about this stepDrop in the sliced jalapeno and allow to infuse the watermelon limeade for 30 minutes or so. The flavor will become more pronounced the longer you leave the jalapeno in...be careful when you are tasting the drink as you don't want the raw jalapeno to make contact with your lips.
Ask a question about this stepUse a slotted spoon to remove the jalapeno pieces and save in the refrigerator to make another batch of the cocktail. Blend the juice again before serving, then pour into glasses over ice (you can strain the juice before serving, if you like, but I did not find it necessary).
Ask a question about this stepGarnish with additional fresh lime and add vodka to taste, if desired.
Ask a question about this stepMan this sounds terrific! I will make these when we are on the beach in Mexico for sure!
yes, please! I love drinks with jalapeno in them! I had an amazing jalapeno lemonade last summer, and I love a good jalapeno margarita - just adding this to the list. Love it.
A refreshing and beautiful photo, love this recipe, WinnieAb, and a good one for the 4th of July!...maybe with a splash of Vodka (?) :)
