• Optional: Tajín or chili-lime seasoning for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the watermelon:
   Cut the watermelon into chunks, removing any seeds if necessary. Place the chunks into a blender and blend until completely smooth.

2. Strain (optional):
   For a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. This step is optional if you prefer a pulpier texture.

3. Mix the liquids:
   Add the tequila and lime juice to the watermelon puree. Stir well to combine evenly.

4. Pour into molds:
   Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.

5. Insert sticks:
   Add wooden popsicle sticks to each mold. If your molds don’t have a built-in holder, freeze the mixture for about 30 minutes first, then insert sticks so they stay upright.

6. Freeze until solid:
   Freeze for at least 6–8 hours or overnight for best results.

7. Optional spicy finish:
   Before serving, sprinkle the pops lightly with Tajín or your favorite chili-lime seasoning for that firecracker kick!
