3/4 cup lime juice
3/4 cup agave syrup
1 cup tequila
sparkling water
cucumber, cut into ribbons
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
WHIRL watermelon, lime juice and agave syrup in a blender until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve into a large bowl, discarding any foam. Pour through sieve again into a pitcher, discarding foam. Refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hr.
