Watermelon Margarita

Iris Warren

Report

This watermelon margarita is the perfect summertime drink! With no added sugar and just 3 ingredients, it's easy, refreshing, and delicious. I like to infuse the tequila with jalapeño to give this margarita a spicy kick, but you can feel free to skip this step if you'd like. See the post above for additional recipe variations.

Instructions

Salt the glass rims (optional): Rub a lime wedge around the rims of 4 rocks glasses. Fill a small plate with coarse salt. Dip each glass into the salt to coat the rim. Fill with ice.
Combine the tequila and half the jalapeño slices, if using. Set aside for 15 to 30 minutes to infuse (the longer you infuse, the spicier it will be). If you're not using the jalapeño, skip this step and proceed with the recipe.
In a blender, combine the watermelon with the lime juice and a handful of ice. Blend until smooth.
Pour the watermelon juice into the prepared glasses. Stir 2 tablespoons tequila into each glass. Taste and adjust, garnish with the lime slices, and serve.
