• 2 oz tequila blanco

• A handful of fresh basil leaves

3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the tequila, Cointreau, and agave syrup (if using) into the shaker with the lime juice and basil.
4. Add Watermelon Puree: Chuck in about 4-6 ounces of the watermelon puree into the shaker, depending on how strong you wanna go with the flavor.
5. Chill and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake like a madman for about 15-20 seconds.
6. Prepare Glass: Rim a glass with salt by dampening the rim with a lime wedge and coating it with salt in a shallow dish.
7. Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with additional basil leaves or a watermelon slice.
