BLENDER.
>> OKAY.
OKAY

FREEZER?
>> YOU WANT FREEZE IT UNCOVERED
JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT IS
GOING TO EXPAND A LITTLE BIT

LOOK

FROWN.
>> IT’S ESSENTIALLY A SPICY
MARGARITA BUT WE’RE GOING TO AMP
IT UP WITH SOME FRESH BASIL,
WATERMELON, AND FRESH HABANERO
TO ADD A KICK TO IT.
IN
WE’RE GOING TO USE A SIMPLE
SYRUP.
SO SIMPLE SYRUP IS ONE PART
SUGAR TO ONE PART WATER.
>> OKAY.

IT
HAS THIS VERY KIND OF RICH, OLD,
KIND OF LIKE MEXICAN HISTORY TO

ANYWAY, THIS IS 1 1/2 OUNCES OR
3 TABLESPOONS OF THE MEZCAL.
EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE TEQUILA,
SWAP IN VODKA.

FOR ANYONE AT HOME WHO DID NOT
