Ingredients
Scale
Main Liquor Ingredients:
- 1 ounces (28 grams) Tequila
- 0.5 ounces (14 grams) Watermelon Schnapps
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 2 dashes Hot Sauce
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 Lime Wedge
- Tajin
Instructions
- Rim the shot glass with a lime wedge, ensuring complete coverage around the edge, then delicately coat with Tajin seasoning by gently dipping the glass.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in tequila, watermelon schnapps, and a dash of hot sauce to create a vibrant, spicy liquid mixture.
- Seal the cocktail shaker tightly and aggressively shake the contents for approximately 15-20 seconds to thoroughly chill and blend the flavors.
- Position a strainer over your prepared shot glass and carefully pour the chilled liquid, allowing the ice to remain in the shaker.
- Optional: Accent the shot with a tiny lime wedge perched on the glass rim for a pop of color and additional citrus essence.
- Serve immediately while the shot is cold and the Tajin rim remains crisp, inviting guests to experience the bold Mexican-inspired flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce, letting you control the spicy kick.
- Use fresh lime juice for a brighter, more authentic citrus flavor that complements the tequila and watermelon notes.
- Freeze shot glasses beforehand to keep the drink extra cold and enhance the refreshing experience.
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap tequila and watermelon schnapps with watermelon juice and a dash of chili extract.
