Quarter and cut the watermelon into 1-inch-thick wedges.
Arrange the watermelon in a single layer in a 9 X13 baking dish.
(I lined mine with foil for no apparent reason)
Cook It Up

Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small pot.
Add the syrupy concoction to the watermelon slices, and place it on the refrigerator for an hour.
***CAUTION***
Mind your pot while cooking!
I think I added a little extra tequila in mine, and the mix did catch on fire! I quickly blew it out with a quick and forceful breath.
Sour, Salt, Serve!
