- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 8 cups diced seedless watermelon
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1¾ cups fresh blueberries
- ¾ cup fresh mint leaves ((lightly packed))
- 8 mint sprigs and watermelon wedges, (for garnish)
- 1¼ cups silver tequila
- ice cubes
Steps
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a simmer with the sugar and stir over moderate heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute; let the sugar syrup cool.
In a blender, puree the watermelon until smooth. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and strain the watermelon juice, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp and save the juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the sugar syrup with the lime juice, blueberries and mint leaves. Using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle the blueberries and the mint. Add the watermelon juice and tequila. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Pour the cocktail into tall ice-filled glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and watermelon wedges and serve.
