Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle together watermelon and mint leaves. Add tequila, lime juice, agave syrup, and saline solution (or fine-grain table salt). Fill the shaker past the top of the liquid with ice, close, and shake together.
- Rub the cut side of one of your juiced limes around the edge of a chilled double rocks glass and coat the rim with chili lime seasoning.
- Place a large ice cube into the glass and strain the watermelon mixture over the cube. Use a bar spoon to scoop the pieces of watermelon and lime into the glass and give a quick stir.
- Garnish with any mix of watermelon, mint, and lime, if desired.
