Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 4 ounces Tequila (silver)
- 2 ounces Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoons Orange extract
- 1 tablespoons Erythritol (granulated or powdered)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 slice Lime (sliced for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Salt (optional, for glass rim)
Instructions
If desired, prepare the glasses by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping the rim into salt for a salted rim. Set aside.
Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Strain the watermelon puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove pulp, leaving you with smooth watermelon juice.
In a shaker or blender, combine 1 cup of fresh watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice, orange extract, erythritol, and ice cubes. Shake vigorously or blend until well mixed and chilled.
Pour the margarita evenly into the prepared glasses filled with additional ice, if desired.
Garnish with a lime slice and serve immediately.
