How to make Slim Slice.
Use the measured quantities below, then follow the ordered method.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila of choice
- 0.75 to 1 oz Cordial Craft Zero-Sugar Lime
- 1 frozen watermelon rock
Supporting preparation and ingredient notes: Wash and scrub the whole watermelon under running water before cutting, and use clean equipment. Juice the watermelon. The simplest version is plain watermelon juice frozen as-is; it works without any other ingredient. For a brighter, more seasoned rock, add the juice of about 4 limes and fully dissolve 2 g salt per 1 L watermelon juice. The lime and salt are optional flavor boosters, not requirements; taste before freezing because lime size and acidity vary. Sea salt is preferred, but another food-grade salt may be used. Freeze solid in approximately 2-inch (5 cm) whiskey-ice molds, then transfer the rocks to an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. Keep continuously frozen at 0°F (-18°C) or below and use within 3 to 4 weeks for best quality.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a shaker.
- Shake with the watermelon ice rock and two small ice cubes.
- Shake until the watermelon rock is mostly melted, with a small piece remaining.
- Strain over fresh ice.
- Garnish with a mint bouquet, Tajín rim, and the remaining piece of watermelon ice.
