Watermelon Margarita with Homemade Tajin

Make the Homemade Tajin:

1. Combine smoked paprika, salt, Golden Coconut Sugar, and Brown Coconut Sugar on a small plate
2. Moisten the rim of two coupe margarita glasses with water or lime (or whatever cute glass cup is around - a mason jar works!)
3. Roll the rims in the Tajin mixture until evenly coated

Make the Watermelon Puree:

1. Blend watermelon and coconut sugar until completely smooth
2. Strain the puree into a cocktail shaker

Assemble the Margarita:

1. Add Tequila, lime juice, and plenty of ice to a shaker with the watermelon puree.
2. Shake vigorously until well chilled.
3. Strain into prepared glasses
4. Garnish with a slice of lime and serve immediately.

Chef's Note: Straining the watermelon puree creates a silky-smooth margarita while preserving its fresh, vibrant flavor. If you'd prefer a more slushy-like margarita, freeze watermelon for 1-2 hours and blend with ingredients in an electric blender and pour directly into prepared glasses.
