Watermelon margarita

Step by Step

Step 1

Add the watermelon chunks to a high-speed blender and blend for 15-20 seconds, or until fully liquified. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve and place it in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.

Step 2

To make the margarita, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 1-oz. watermelon juice, along with the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Shake until chilled, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Strain the margarita into a salt-rimmed glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of watermelon and serve immediately.

Step 4

Place fresh watermelon cubes on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 2 hours or until completely frozen.

Step 5

Add all of the ingredients including ice into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately! Feel free to double or triple this recipe.

Tips and Warnings

The watermelon juice can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
You can combine the watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, and triple sec in a pitcher ahead of time— just shake the individual portions (about 1/2 cup) with ice right before serving.
If your watermelon isn’t as sweet as you would like, add agave or simple syrup to taste.
