Watermelon Lime Drink with Tequila

This beverage combines fresh watermelon puree with lime juice, creating a slightly gritty texture from seed bits and a vibrant, sun-warmed aroma. The drink features a bright pink color, poured over ice or served chilled, with optional tequila addition for an alcoholic kick. The final appearance is a refreshing, pulpy, and lightly textured drink that captures summer's essence.

  3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth with small seed bits and pulp visibly dispersed throughout; about 30-45 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, using a spoon to press the pulp and extract liquid, leaving seed bits and pulp behind. Discard solids.
  5. Pour the strained juice into glasses filled with ice, garnish with lime slices if desired, and add tequila if using. Serve immediately for a chilled, pulpy drink.
