Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup tequila
  • ¾ cup orange liquor, or orange juice
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ¼ watermelon, cut into triangles (~9 slices)
  • Optional coarse kosher or sea salt and lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add tequila, orange liquor and lime juice into a large zip-top bag and mix. Add the watermelon slices into the bag, secure the top, and gently squish them around to coat all of the pieces. Lay bag down flat in the fridge for about 40 minutes to let boozy marinade soak in, flipping the bag every 10 minutes to ensure all pieces get coated.
  • Remove from fridge and lay pieces out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Using a sharp knife, poke holes in the center of each thick rind and insert a wooden popsicle stick into the hole.
  • Sprinkle coarse sea salt or kosher salt and flecks of lime zest over the tops and freeze at least 2 hours.
