Ingredients:
2 oz Silver Tequila
1 oz Lime Juice
1 oz fresh watermelon juice (you can make it by blending watermelon chunks and straining the juice)
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
3-4 basil leaves
Watermelon slice (for garnish)
Salt (optional)
Ice
Instructions:
In a shaker, muddle the basil leaves with the Silver Tequila, Lime Juice, watermelon juice, and Simple Syrup.
Add ice to the shaker and shake well.
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice.
Garnish with a watermelon slice and a sprig of basil, and enjoy your delicious Watermelon Basil Margarita!
Note: If you prefer a frozen cocktail, you can also blend all of the ingredients with ice in a blender instead of shaking them. And if you want to make it a bit spicier, you can add a slice of jalapeno pepper to the shaker before muddling the basil. Also, if you like your cocktail on the sweeter side, you can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
