What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.
1 jalapeno chile pepper
2 ounces tequila (I used a Blanco, or white, un-aged tequila for this)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ounce watermelon puree
¾ ounce agave nectar/syrup
Hickory smoked salt for rimming the glass
Muddle the jalapeno in a shaker or a pint glass. Add the tequila, lime juice, watermelon puree and agave nectar. Shake with ice and strain into a double old fashioned glass filled with fresh ice and rimmed with hickory smoked salt. Garnish with a slice of watermelon and lime wedge.
