Equipment

  • 1 large glass mason jar 64 ounce capacity
  • 1 fine mesh sieve
  • 1 large glass measuring cup
  • 1 chefs knife for chopping melon
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams seedless watermelon, trimmed of rind and cubed about 3 cups of cubed watermelon, or half a small melon.
  • 750 mL blanco tequila 1 bottle, also called silver tequila

Instructions
 

  • Slice your watermelon in half to make it easier to trim the rind off of your melon.
  • Trim the rind off the watermelon. This helps keep the flavor to more of a single note, instead of adding in the flavor of the rind.
  • Slice the watermelon and cut it into cubes.
  • Place cubed watermelon in a large glass jar.
  • Pour the bottle of tequila overtop of the watermelon cubes in the jar. Save the bottle for storage after you’ve strained the watermelon to minimize needing containers.
  • Seal the jar to make sure it is airtight.
  • Give the jar a gentle swirl or shake every other day, and give it a taste until it is to your liking. This can take anywhere from 2 - 5 days. I liked the taste of mine after two days, but my dad opted to infuse his for three days.
  • Once the tequila is at your preferred taste, strain out the watermelon chunks by pouring the contents of the jar through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.
  • Discard the watermelon.
  • Pour the watermelon tequila back into the original bottle, or another storage jar, and seal it shut. Store it in the fridge for up to 6 months.
