Watermelon Infused Tequila Recipe 455 Food

TEQUILA AND WATERMELON

Steps:

• Fill a highball glass with ice and add tequila, watermelon, salt and a squeeze of lime. Top with soda water. Float a couple of slices of jalapeño on the drink to garnish.

TEQUILA-SOAKED WATERMELON WEDGES

Steps:

• Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
• Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.

SAY ANYTHING (SPICY WATERMELON TEQUILA COCKTAIL)

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the jalapeños. Cut the jalapeños in half and scrape the core (seeds and membranes) of two into a food-safe container. Dice the remaining jalapeños and place into the food-safe container. Add the tequila and allow to infuse for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on spice level desired. Rebottle.
• Note: The recipe for the jalapeño tequila will vary because not all jalapeños are equally spicy. You need to taste it frequently to make sure it's right. Ensure your tequila is not cold, as cold tequila will not infuse properly.
• Blend the watermelon in a blender to yield about 12 ounces of juice. Add the sugar and blend again until fully dissolved. Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Add all the ingredients, except for 1 mint leaf, the lime wheel, and salt, to a cocktail shaker with ice. Wet the outside of a coupe glass with the lime wheel and roll the glass in salt for a salted rim. Shake and fine-strain into the glass. Garnish with the mint leaf-first pressed lightly to express its oils-by floating it on top of the drink.

WATERMELON TEQUILA SHOTS

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the watermelon large enough for the tequila bottle's neck. Insert the tequila bottle upside down. Refrigerate and let the liquor soak into the watermelon's flesh overnight.
• Cube the melon, and skewer each cube with a wedge of lime sprinkled with salt.

INFUSED TEQUILA

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a freezer safe container and shake well. Place container in a cool, dark place for 48 to 60 hours then strain the tequila and freeze it for an additional 12 hours. Serve in shot glass or any other glass you like.
