Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon (seedless, cubed and frozen)
- 3 ounces silver tequila
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt or sugar (for rimming the glass)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the glasses: run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it.
Dip the rim of the glass into a shallow plate of coarse salt or sugar to coat and set the glasses aside.
In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, silver tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup (if using), and ice cubes.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help blend it further.
Taste the margarita and adjust the sweetness by adding more agave syrup, if desired.
Pour the margarita into the prepared glasses and garnish each with a lime wedge.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing summer cocktail!
