METHOD

Step 1

Slice the watermelon into thick spears or wedges, depending on your preference. Ensure they are easy to grab and eat with your hands.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of chamoy sauce, the juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to make the chamoy brine.

Step 3

Place the watermelon spears into a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the chamoy brine over the watermelon spears, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Remove the watermelon spears from the brine and allow any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 7

Serve immediately at your party or gathering, and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. Garnish with extra lime wedges if desired.
