HOW TO MAKE WATERMELON MOCKTAIL
Cut a small slit in a lime wedge, about halfway through the wedge. Take the lime wedge and run it around the rim of each glass, coating it with lime juice. On a small plate, combine the sugar and Tajin seasoning.
Mix and spread Tajin seasoning and sugar on one plate. Take the glasses and dip the rims in the sugar first, coating them evenly. Then dip the rims in the Tajin seasoning to create a spicy and tangy rim. Set aside.
In a blender, add the watermelon cubes, orange juice, lime juice, agave syrup and blend until smooth. If desired, you can strain the watermelon juice to remove any pulp, but it’s optional.
Fill the rimmed glasses with ice cubes. Pour the watermelon margarita mix over the ice, dividing it evenly between the glasses.
You can garnish the mocktails with a small watermelon wedge, lime slices or flowers if desired. Insert a straw into each glass and serve immediately.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
-
You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeño to the blender while blending the watermelon cubes for a spicy kick.
-
Muddle a few fresh mint leaves in the bottom of each glass before adding the ice and the mocktail mix for a refreshing minty flavor.
-
You can also freeze the watermelon cubes before blending them to create a slushy texture. Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until smooth for a frosty watermelon margarita mocktail.
-
Replace half of the orange juice with coconut water for a tropical twist to the mocktail.
-
Tajin seasoning is a popular Mexican spice blend that combines chili, lime, and salt flavors. It adds a tangy and slightly spicy element to the rim of the glass. If you don’t have Tajin, you can try using a combination of chili powder and salt as an alternative.
RECIPE FAQ’S
Can I use a different sweetener instead of agave syrup?
Yes, you can substitute agave syrup with honey or simple syrup.
Can I use bottled watermelon juice instead of fresh watermelon?
Yes, if you have bottled watermelon juice, you can use it instead of fresh watermelon cubes. Adjust the quantities accordingly.
Can I make this mocktail in advance?
It’s best to prepare the mocktail just before serving to retain its freshness and vibrant flavors. However, you can prepare the watermelon juice and the margarita mix in advance and keep them refrigerated. When ready to serve, pour the mix over ice and garnish the glasses.
Can I make a larger batch of this mocktail for a party?
Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you’d like to make. Prepare the mocktail mix in a larger container, and when it’s time to serve, pour it over ice in individual glasses.
Can I make this watermelon mocktail without a blender?
Yes, you can! Instead of blending the watermelon cubes, you can mash them using a fork or a potato masher to extract the juice. Then strain the juice to remove any solids. Proceed with mixing the juice with the other ingredients as mentioned in the recipe.
Can I add alcohol to this watermelon mocktail to make it a cocktail?
If you’d like to turn this into a watermelon margarita cocktail, you can add 1-2 ounces of tequila per serving to the mocktail mix. Stir well to combine before pouring it over the ice in the glasses.
