Ingredients

6 watermelon cubes
6 leaves fresh basil
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ounce simple syrup or 1/2 ounce agave nectar
2 ounces blanco tequila or non-alcoholic spirit substitute
1 pinch table salt
1 slice watermelon (optional, for garnish)
1 basil flower (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and muddle thoroughly. You can also use a blender to quickly juice and combine the ingredients.
Add ice and seal the cocktail shaker. Shake for 30 seconds.
Double strain using a fine-mesh strainer into a margarita or coupe glass (any stemmed or even short glass will do). The double strain ensures the cocktail does not have a smoothie-like texture and is refreshing but not heavy to drink.
Garnish with a slice of watermelon and basil flower (optional).
