This Boozy Watermelon Hack Is My New Summer Party Trick (It’s Better Than Sipping a Margarita!)
Looking for a clever way to use up that watermelon? While you could always blend it to make watermelon popsicles or toss cubes in a refreshing feta salad, if you’re looking for something a little boozier (that isn’t a watermelon margarita, of course), then you’re absolutely going to love these watermelon-infused Tajin tequila bites.
Posted by @timthetankofficial on TikTok, this recipe only requires three ingredients: watermelon, a Tajin seasoning, and your favorite bottle of tequila.

To make it, cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. Transfer the watermelon bites into a jar that can seal, then pour tequila into the jar until it is completely full. Seal the jar and place it in the fridge for 24 hours. When it’s time to snack, simply pierce a piece of watermelon with a fork and sprinkle the outside with Tajin.
According to the creator, this snack is the perfect blend of salty and sweet, while simultaneously refreshing, making it the ideal snack to enjoy for a summer happy hour. And foodies on TikTok absolutely love it. “I gotta try this,” comments a TikTok user. “I’ll take 7 or 70 pieces,” says another.
Some viewers are also sharing their own renditions of this tasty, refreshing snack. “Needs a fresh squeeze of lime,” someone commented. Adding a dash or two of hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of salt, could also enhance the flavor of this boozy snack. Others even say this recipe works well with other sweet fruits, such as fresh sliced mango or even green grapes.
The best part? Once you polish off the watermelon bites, you’re left with a jar of watermelon-infused tequila, perfect for any clever cocktails you plan on making this summer, like a refreshing glass of ranch water, a Palermo cocktail, or a clever twist on a tequila sunrise.
