Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, chopped and frozen
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and frozen
- 2 ounces (60 ml) silver tequila
- 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons agave syrup or simple syrup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water or sparkling water
- 1/4 cup Tajín seasoning
- 1 lime wedge (for rimming the glass)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Chop the watermelon into cubes and hull the strawberries. Freeze both for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Rim the Glass: Pour Tajín seasoning onto a small plate. Rub the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, then dip it into the Tajín, twisting to coat evenly. Set aside to dry.
- Blend the Slushie: In a blender, combine frozen watermelon, frozen strawberries, silver tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Add cold or sparkling water.
- Pulse and Blend: Blend on low speed, then high, for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slushy. Adjust thickness by adding water or more frozen fruit as needed.
- Taste and Adjust: Add more lime juice or syrup if desired and blend briefly again.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or strawberry slice.
Notes
Use frozen fruit to avoid watery drinks. Adjust sweetness based on fruit ripeness. Tajín rim adds a spicy, tangy contrast. For non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and add more lime juice or sparkling water. Blend in short bursts to avoid overheating blender.
