Notes
Recipe tips:
- For moderately spicy, remove the jalapeno seeds. For more spice, keep the seeds in.
- If you're worried about watermelon particles and pulp, strain the watermelon mixture after blending. However, this isn't necessary and watermelon typically blends up nicely.
- If you want to use agave instead of simple syrup, use ½ teaspoon instead of 1 tsp.
