For a milder spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeño slice before adding it to the shaker. Adjust the amount of watermelon puree to your preferred level of sweetness. If you don't have Cointreau, any high-quality orange liqueur will work well. Consider muddling a few mint leaves into the watermelon puree to brighten and add depth to the flavors.
