Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) Seedless watermelon
- 1.5 cups Silver tequila
- 0.5 cups Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cups Cointreau or orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Agave syrup
- 3 cups Ice
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Cut the seedless watermelon into cubes and measure out 4 cups.
Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl or pitcher to remove pulp.
In a small dish, spread 2 tablespoons of salt evenly. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each margarita glass, then dip the rims into the salt to coat them. Set aside.
In the blender, combine the strained watermelon juice, silver tequila, fresh lime juice, Cointreau, agave syrup, and 1 cup of ice. Blend until well mixed and chilled.
Fill the prepared glasses with crushed or cubed ice, then pour the margarita mixture evenly into each glass.
Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
