THE JALISCITO

Makes: 6 slushes

• 1/2 cup super-fine sugar
• Grated zest of 1 lime
• 1/3 cup lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
• 2 cups chopped watermelon
• 6 tablespoons tequila
• 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
• Put the sugar and lime zest in a saucepan with 1 cup water. Place over low heat. Gently bring to a simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Let bubble gently for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and pour in the lime juice.

Place the chopped watermelon in a food processor or blender, add the lime syrup, tequila, Grand Marnier and agave nectar and blitz until well combined.

Pour into a freezer-safe container, cover, and place in the freezer for up to 6 hours, giving it a good stir every 2 hours. Remove from the freezer, blitz in a food processor or blender, and pour into glasses. Allow to thaw a little (approximately 10 minutes), then serve.
