Instructions
For the Serrano Infused Tequila

Place in an airtight resealable container and add the peppercorns and salt. Cover with tequila and allow to sit over night.
Strain the infused tequila with a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar to store.
For the Grilled Watermelon Margaritas
Sprinkle the salt over the watermelon on both sides and grill over medium high heat 3 to 5 minutes per side, until smokey char marks form.
Remove from heat and arrange onto a platter. Season with additional salt if desired.
When cooled a bit, cube up several slices of the watermelon.
If salting the rim of your glasses, do so now. Add ice and several grilled watermelon cubes.
Pour in 3 oz Serrano infused tequila, 1 oz Anejo tequila and top off with the watermelon lemonade.
Garish with a piece of cubed watermelon wrapped in a basil leaf, securing with a pick. Serve.
