I got this off my Stumble Upon (the best and worst thing that has happened to me ever). Then I made these watermelon slices and sat outside in the sun, listening to local bands. It was the best!
Tequila-Infused Watermelon Slices
from http://www.marthastewart.com/315329/tequila-soaked-watermelon-wedges
Ingredients
-1 small seedless watermelon, red or yellow, quartered and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
-1 cup sugar
-3/4 cup water
-1/2 cup tequila
-1/4 cup Triple Sec
-2 limes, halved or cut into wedges
-Flaked sea salt or coarse salt
Directions
1- Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
2- Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.
Notes:
- So I didn't think about the fact that boiling would take out most of the alcohol. Big Boo....Next time, I"m going to make the simple syrup (boil the sugar and water) then add the alcohol. That seems much better!
Enjoy!
