Ingredients
  • Jalapeño Vodka: can be made way ahead of time, like weeks.
  • 1 bottle Smirnoff Watermelon Vodka (can sub unflavored vodka)
  • 2 to 3 large jalapeños roughly chopped.
  • Jalapeño Strawberry Watermelon Tini:
  • 2 cups chopped seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries (tops removed)
  • ½ tsp. of salt
  • Salt Rim:
  • 1 tbsp. sea salt
  • ½ tbsp. smoked sea salt
  • ½ tbsp. course sugar
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. For the Vodka:
  2. Pour the bottle of watermelon vodka into a large mason jar with a lid
  3. Chop the jalapenos roughly, discard stem, but you can leave the seeds, and put in the jar with the vodka. Let the vodka infuse for at least 8 hours in the fridge up to 48 hours. The longer the infusion the spicier the vodka. Strain vodka into a large bowl through fine mesh strainer. Transfer strained vodka back to the mason jar with lid and store in fridge. This will last as long as regular vodka lasts. Easy make ahead.
  4. For the Tini:
  5. In the container of a high-speed blender add the strawberries, watermelon and salt, blend on high until smooth. Only about a minute or two. Pour into a measuring cup.
  6. Place all the salt rim ingredients on a small plate and stir to combine.
  7. Using a piece of watermelon or strawberry and run it around the rim of your glass so the salt will stick. Dunk the rim of glass into the salt mixture and turn to coat the entire rim of the glass. Set aside.
  8. Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour about 1 cup of the strawberry/watermelon puree into shaker. Add 4-5oz (or 6...no judgment) of the jalapeno vodka to the shaker. Put the lid and top on and shake, shake, shake. Pour into prepared glass. Garnish with a skewer of watermelon, thinly sliced jalapeno and strawberry with a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
  9. Sip and enjoy!
