Ingredients
- 4 cups (seeded and cubed) Watermelon
- 1 medium (peeled and sliced) Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 1 cup Silver tequila
- 0.5 cup Orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau)

Instructions
In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and cucumber slices. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp. Set the juice aside.
On a small plate, combine the salt and chili powder (if using). Run a lime wedge along the rims of four glasses, then dip the rims into the salt mixture to coat.
In a large pitcher, combine the strained watermelon-cucumber juice, fresh lime juice, silver tequila, orange liqueur, and agave syrup. Stir well to combine.
Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes, then pour the margarita mixture evenly into each glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a small slice of watermelon on the rim of each glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Cucumber Margaritas!
