1. For the Jalapeno Simple Syrup: Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. For a less spicy syrup, remove ribs and seeds from jalapeno then add to the saucepan. For a more spicy syrup, slice jalapeno then add - seeds and all - to the saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, then cook until sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat then let cool - the longer the jalapeno stays in the syrup, the spicier it will be. Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a mason jar or container then chill. Can be done several days ahead of time.
2. Add watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, and jalapeno simple syrup to a rocks or cocktail glass then stir to combine. Fill glass to the top with ice then serve with fresh jalapeno slices. Alternatively you could add the ingredients into a shaker, fill it halfway up with ice, then shake to chill.
3. Place tequila and about 4 slices of jalapeno in a glass measuring cup and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours depending on how spicy your jalapenos are and how spicy you want the tequila to be. Take a taste after 1 hour and decide whether it is spicy enough. If so, remove jalapenos.
4. Place watermelon (you may need to do it in batches) in a blender and blend until liquified.
5. Pour watermelon through a fine-meshed strainer, pressing on it with the back of a spoon to get all the liquid through. Measure out 3 cups of watermelon juice.
6. In a large pitcher, combine the 3 cups watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, Triple Sec, and simple syrup.
