Tequila-Watermelon Punch
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
3 parts watermelon purée
1 part silver tequila
1/2 part fresh lime juice
Seltzer
Sliced jalapeño
Coarse sea salt
Ice
Agave nectar (optional)
Instructions:
To make watermelon purée, put seedless chunks of watermelon in a blender and pulse, then push the purée through a mesh sieve to make it smoother.
In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the watermelon purée, tequila and lime juice.
To sweeten, adjust with agave nectar.
To serve, pour into glasses over ice, top each glass with seltzer, a pinch of sea salt and slices of jalapeño.
