Jalapeno Watermelon Limeade

With patio season on our doorstep, I’ve been craving one of my favorite summer cocktails, a chili coconut margarita from Anejo here in Calgary. This weekend, I was still looking for a “spicy” cocktail so I decided to work with what I had in the fridge. Since I love watermelon, I figured some sort of lemonade with an infused kick from a jalapeno pepper would make a refreshing option. The biggest rule with this drink, the spicier you want it, the longer you let the pepper infuse. I found 45 minutes was about the right amount~ just make sure to take it out before you serve! Also, serve over ice or not and adding a splash of vodka is also optional.

Enjoy!

Instructions

   Juice or Blend Watermelon.

3. 
   Add Jalapeno to the Watermelon Limeade, set in the fridge and let the pepper infuse into the juice (the longer the spicier), I leave mine for 45 minutes.
   
4. 
   Use a slotted spoon to remove all the jalapeno peppers.
   
5. 
   Stir and serve with a sugared lime. Add additional sugar to taste.
