Spicy Pink Lemonade Slushie
Summer 2018
Tart and sweet with a smoky kick from chipotle, this frozen spin on pink lemonade is the perfect drink for an alfresco taco party. If you have a low tolerance to spice, feel free to omit the chipotle pepper. To freeze the watermelon, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When hard, transfer to a freezer bag until ready to use.
Makes 2 drinks
4 oz 100% agave blanco tequila
2 oz strained fresh lemon juice
1 oz agave syrup
2 cups (500 mL) frozen cubed watermelon
⅛ tsp (0.5 mL) ground chipotle pepper, or more to taste
2 small, thin watermelon wedges to garnish
2 lemon slices to garnish
Short straws
1. Pour tequila, lemon juice and agave syrup into an airtight container. Freeze at least 6 hours and up to 3 days. (It will thicken but not completely solidify because of the alcohol.)
2. Place 2 lowball glasses in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
3. Place drink mixture, watermelon and chipotle in blender. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down bowl if necessary. Taste and add more chipotle powder if desired. Divide among chilled glasses with a spoon. Garnish with watermelon wedges and lemon slices.
Serve with straws.
