TEQUILA-SOAKED WATERMELON WEDGES



Tequila-Soaked Watermelon Wedges image

This grown-up fruit dessert borrows flavors from margaritas. Tequila and Triple Sec infuse the watermelon slices, which also get a spray of lime juice and a sprinkling of coarse salt. The longer the watermelon soaks, the more flavorful it becomes -- one more reason to save any leftover slices.

TEQUILA-WATERMELON PUNCH



Tequila-Watermelon Punch image

To make watermelon puree, put seedless chunks of watermelon in a blender and pulse, then push the puree through a mesh sieve to make it smoother. (Cutting a whole watermelon might make your kitchen look like a Gallagher set, so it's O.K. to use precut watermelon from a supermarket.)
