Below quantities are per person
Ingredients
45ml Patron Silver Tequila
15ml De Kuyper triple sec

Method
Pour the tequila, triple sec, lime, watermelon and agave into a carafe that’s large enough to hold your final quantity of cocktail. Top with ice and muddle ingredients together. Keep refrigerated or packed with ice until ready to serve — it’s best consumed on the same day it’s prepped.
To prepare your glasses, rub a lime wedge on the rim of each glass, then roll rim in chilli salt. Garnish with a thick slice of watermelon and a sprig of mint.
