Summer in a glass doesn't get much better than this — fresh watermelon blended smooth, spiked with 100% agave blanco tequila, and brightened with a squeeze of real lime juice. The whole thing comes together in a blender and a cocktail shaker, no fancy bar equipment required. Straining the watermelon purée through a fine-mesh sieve is the move that keeps the texture silky and the flavor clean, so every sip tastes like peak-season fruit. A touch of honey rounds out the sweetness naturally, and a salted rim adds that classic contrast that makes you want another round immediately. For anyone navigating sesame-free living, cocktails can actually be a surprisingly tricky category — flavored syrups, specialty salts, and pre-made mixes sometimes sneak in unexpected ingredients — but every single component here is straightforward and easy to verify. Garnish with a wedge of watermelon and a curl of lime, and you've got something that looks as good as it tastes.

Spread a thin layer of fine sea salt on a small flat plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each rocks glass, then press the rim into the salt to coat. Fill each glass with fresh ice and set aside.
Add the watermelon cubes to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 20–30 seconds. Pour the watermelon purée through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup or bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible; discard the solids. You should have about 1 cup of strained watermelon juice.
