These adult "drinks" are light and refreshing on a hot day. Since I'm on vacation this week, they are top of mind (again!)
One tip: If you bring these to a gathering or party where children will be present, be sure to have some slices for the kids, too. This way you can avoid a little one taking a bite of "grown-up watermelon."
Another option: A friend added a drizzle of basil simple syrup when she recently served these. Also very yummy.
If you don't use a whole watermelon when you make this, you can use the rest for some delicious Watermelon Raspberry Rum Punch.
Mangia! Mangia!

Tequila by the Slice
Inspired by KitchenFunWithMyThreeSons.com
1 seedless watermelon, quartered
Silver tequila
2-3 fresh limes, sliced
Coarse salt for topping
*Note: It is best to add the lime juice and salt right before you eat the watermelon slices. Doing so in advance makes the watermelon too salty.
Slice each watermelon quarter into 1-inch triangles. If you like, cut each piece in half to get smaller triangles.
Place watermelon slices on a large cookie sheet.
(Please pardon the drywall. Kitchen still a work in progress!) |
Serve each piece with a lime slice and some coarse salt.
To enjoy, drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle with salt and repeat!
