July 2, 2014

J and I enjoyed these amazing alcohol infused fruits on our last trip to Vegas and I knew this would be the perfect thing to try out for myself for our next BBQ… it was super easy to make and quite the hit!  Can’t wait to give it a go with different variations this summer…

 Tequila Soaked Watermelon

  • 1 watermelon
  • tequila
  • 1 lime
  • Agave
  • Salt
  1. Slice watermelon (I prefer triangles for this)
  2. Place watermelon slices on a rimmed baking sheet (they can be pretty snug… no need to space them out)
  3. Squeeze 1/2 lime juice over watermelon slices
  4. Pour tequila overtop (not sure the amount but about 1/2 inch worth in the pan)
  5. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then turn over all slices, so that the other side is exposed to the tequila
  6. Wrap sheets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours
  7. Once ready to serve, drizzle with agave and sprinkle with freshly grated lime zest
  8. Serve with a small bowl of salt for guests to dip watermelon in if they prefer.
