A shaker is ideal for this cocktail,. Buy one. You’ll appreciate it. Or, find two plastic glasses in your house that fit into one another
-Muddle, or smash repeatedly, two good sized chunks, mouthfuls, of watermelon at the bottom of the shaker (Mixology 101 : most cocktails are around 6 ounces, the size of a martini glass. A straight martini is usually three ounces of booze with a wash of vermouth in the glass, but the shaking with ice makes those three ounces come out to around 4.5)
-Add two ounces of tequila, the juice of one lime, and a pinch of cayenne. Add a dozen ice cubes and SHAKE THAT SHIT. HARD.
Strain it into a glass. Or leave the ice. Enjoy.
I’ve thought of doing this with a juicer, but I like the chunkiness of the watermelon, something you can pick out with your fingers when you’re done.

Suddenly thirsty.
mmmm booze fruit
ME TOO. and it's 11 am out here in the midwest.
