    2 cups seedless watermelon chunks, 3 ounces tequila, 1 lime lime juice, 1 pinch salt
  3. Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and homogeneous, about 30-45 seconds. Check that the texture is pourable but slightly pulpy, with no large chunks.
  4. Pour the blended watermelon mixture into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until chilled and slightly frothy.
  5. Strain the mixture into chilled glasses, optionally garnished with a lime wedge or a small watermelon slice. Serve immediately for a cold, refreshing drink.

Notes

Adjust sweetness with a touch of simple syrup if desired. For a salt-rimmed glass, rub the rim with lime and dip in coarse salt before pouring.
