When ready to serve: Mix 1/2 cup watermelon-cucumber juice with lime juice, agave, and tequila in a cocktail shaker filled with ice; shake well to chill. Rub the rim of a mason jar with a lime wedge and dip it into the lime zest mixture. Pour the margarita into the salt-rimmed mason jar and garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint sprig.
