Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen watermelon (cubed and deseeded)
- 4 ounces tequila (Silver or Blanco)
- 2 ounces fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 ounce Triple Sec (or Cointreau)
- 1 tbsp agave syrup (or simple syrup)
- salt or sugar for rimming the glasses (optional)
- lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Glasses: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into salt or sugar (or both). Set aside.
- Blend the Margarita: Add frozen watermelon, tequila, lime juice, Triple Sec, and agave syrup to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Serve: Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Choosing Watermelon: Seedless is easiest, but if using seeded watermelon, remove all seeds before freezing.
- Texture Tips: Too thick? Add a splash of lime juice or water. Too thin? Add more frozen watermelon or ice cubes.
- Flavor Adjustments: Taste before serving—add more lime juice or agave syrup to adjust tartness or sweetness.
- Mocktail Version: Omit the tequila and Triple Sec. Add more lime juice and a splash of orange juice.
- Leftover Hack: Freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray and reblend with a splash of lime juice later for a quick slushy.
