This is basically watermelon agua fresca spiked with jalapeno-infused tequila. Add the tequila bit by bit to control the heat; you can always add more plain tequila if your batch is too incendiary! To make simple syrup, heat equal amounts of water and sugar together until the sugar dissolves; it will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.

    To save time (I mean who wants to wait a day to have a drink), Tanteo makes several spicy infused tequilas including jalapeno, habanero (personal favorite), and chipotle.
