Smashed Watermelon Margarita
This margarita starts with fresh watermelon and mint muddled together, then strained for a smooth base. Grapefruit and lime juice add a bright, citrusy counterpoint to the tequila. It's a shaken drink, served over ice, and garnished with more watermelon and mint for a refreshing finish.

Muddle and Shake
In a mason jar, muddle the watermelon and 5 mint leaves together until you have a pulpy puree. Strain this mixture, pressing to extract all the liquid, and discard the solids.
Add the grapefruit juice, the juice of half a lime, and the tequila to the strained liquid. Fill the jar with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously until the outside of the jar is frosty.
Pour the drink into a glass, adding more ice if you like. Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and a small slice of watermelon.
