Cocktail:: Watermelon Salty Dog

My Dad used to eat chilled watermelon wedges with salt in the summertime, and this watermelon salty dog cocktail reminds me of that childhood memory. It’s absolutely refreshing and delicious!  I like the little melons for this recipe (pass chunks of watermelon through a fine sieve for fresh juice). Don't forget to salt the rim! That's the trick. Try it and let me know how you like it.

Watermelon Salty DogServes 1

You will need:

- 1 cup fresh watermelon juice

- 2 oz tequila

- Juice of 1 lime

- Sea salt for the rim

To prepare:

In a shaker, place ice, watermelon juice, tequila and lime juice. Shake until fully combined and chilled, about 1 minute.

Strain into a glass, rim the glass with lime half, and sprinkle the rim with sea salt. It’s okay if some of the salt falls into the glass.

Cheers! xx
