Notes

The cocktail tastes best with ripe, sweet watermelon. Pick a melon that sounds hollow when tapped.
Store leftover watermelon juice in the fridge for up to 2 days.
For a spicy twist, add a thin slice of jalapeño during shaking.
Make it non-alcoholic by replacing tequila with extra watermelon juice and a splash of lime soda.
