Materials

For the hot chile infused tequila:

  • 1 quart blanco tequila
  • 1 habañero or serrano
  • For the Chupacabra
  • 2 oz tequila hot chile infused
  • 3 oz Watermelon Juice
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 1 oz Canton Ginger

Instructions

  • Infuse the tequila in advance. Pour some blanco tequila into a quart jar. Cut one Habañero into strips and put it in the jar. Taste after 4 hours to see if it's hot enough. You can let this sit for up to 24 hours to get it hot enough for your taste.
  • Make Watermelon Juice. Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon and use an immersion blender to juice it. Alternatively you can cut the watermelon into chunks and put them in a blender to juice them. Strain the resultant juice.
  • Put several ice cubes in a shaker. Add all four ingredients and shake thoroughly.
  • Strain the drink into a large martini glass.
  • Garnish with watermelon wedge and a thin slice of lime.
