Margaritas! I love them, they’re the perfect way to celebrate Tequila Tuesday (that’s a thing, right?) or to compliment a Mexican-inspired dish.  

This recipe takes the frozen approach to save time and avoid juicing a watermelon. If you’re having a watermelon margarita, I’m guessing it’s going to be in the summer months, so enjoy it frozen!

Cilantro, ice, and watermelon in a Vitamix blender.

In order to make a watermelon margarita, you’ll need:

Frozen, seedless watermelon 
Ice
Lime juice
Agave nectar
Tequila 
Triple Sec
Coarse salt (to coat the rim of the glass)
Fresh cilantro (optional), if you’re not a big fan of cilantro basil is also a great addition.

SALT THE RIM OF THE GLASS

Certainly you could pour your margarita right into a tumbler and it’ll taste just as good, but cocktails seem a little more magical when they’re served in a nice glass with a salted rim, pick and a garnish.  

These cocktail picks are super cute and cheap, so are these glasses right here.

Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen watermelon seedless
  • 1 cup ice
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 3/4 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup triple sec
  • 1 tsp cilantro or basil finely chopped
  • course salt for rimming glasses

Instructions
 

  • First, cut your watermelon into chuncks, place it on wax paper then place it in the freezer until frozen. If it's not frozen, your marganita will be a little gritty and you really don't want that.
  • Run a lime wedge along the rim of each serving glass and dip the glass into the course salt. Works best if you add the course salt to a shallow plate and dip the glass right in.
  • In a blender, combine your frozen watermelon, ice, lime juice, agave nectar, tequila, and triple sec. Pulse until everything is combined and slushy.
  • Add the chopped herbs (if desired) pulse a few more times and serve!

Notes

Herbs are optional.  You can make this drink ahead of time, but if you do it this way I recommend placing it into the fridge for no more than 30 minutes.
