Chili-Salt Rim
1. Mix together the kosher salt, chili powder, and Tajín seasoning on a small flat plate until well combined. Cut a notch in the lime and run it around the rim of two rocks or wide margarita glasses to moisten them, then press each glass rim into the chili-salt mixture, rotating to coat evenly. Set glasses aside.
2. Cut the watermelon slices into rough chunks and blend them until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to yield clear, fresh watermelon juice. Discard the pulp.

Mixing the Margarita
3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, fresh watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and agave syrup. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the tin is frosted and ice-cold.

4. Fill the rimmed glasses with fresh ice. Strain the margarita evenly between both glasses. Garnish each with a small watermelon wedge on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
