Photo: Fresh Spa-ocktail Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups watermelon chunks
- 1 English cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces tequila (recommended: 1800 Tequila)
- 8 ounces (1 cup) seltzer water
- Cucumber slices, for garnish
- Lime slices, for garnish
Directions
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl.
Add the watermelon and cucumber chunks to a blender and blend until thoroughly pureed. Pour into the sieve and allow the juice to slowly drip into the bowl without forcing any of the pulp through. Discard solids. This should yield about 12 ounces of juice.
In a pitcher, combine the watermelon and cucumber juice with the lime juice and tequila. Fill 4 highball glasses with ice and evenly divide juice among glasses. Top off each glass with seltzer water. Serve the glasses topped with a couple of cucumber and lime slices.

This was quite refreshing. It had the perfect watermelon to cucumber ratio with a hint of the distinct taste of tequila in the background.
Below are some suggestions I have for you to adjust this cocktail to your own tastebuds:
- I bought my watermelon out of season, so I had to sweeten the watermelon/cucumber/lime mixture. I added sugar by the 1/2 tablespoon to avoid over sweetening.
- If you prefer completely "pulp-free" beverages, I recommend straining the mixture twice.
- Refrain from using the bottom shelf tequila. I used Sauza Tequila Silver and paid about $23 for a liter. It was on the middle shelf :.
