Ingredients

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch Pico Piquin seasoning (see chef's notes, below)
1 lime wedge
2 2-by-2-inch cubes watermelon plus 1 slice for garnish
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) hibiscus concentrate (see chef's notes, below)
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 dashes Tajin regular snack sauce (see chef's notes, below)
About 2 cups ice cubes
