Ingredients
For the Mocktail:
- 1 lime wedge
- TajÃn, for rimming the glass
- 2–3 slices jalapeño, seeds removed

- 4 oz. watermelon juice (see below)
- ½ oz. agave syrup
- 2 oz. sparkling water
- Ice
- Optional garnishes: mint sprig, jalapeno slice, lime wedge
For the Watermelon Juice:
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
Instructions
For the Mocktail:
- Rim the glass. Pour some Tajin into a shallow dish. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip the rim into the TajÃn to coat. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, muddle the jalapeño slices with the lime juice.
- Pour the watermelon juice and agave syrup into the shaker. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Fill the Tajin-rimmed glass with ice. Pour in the watermelon mixture.

For the Watermelon Juice:
- Add the watermelon cubes to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the blended watermelon through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Use the back of a spoon to press out as much juice as possible.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
