This Watermelon Margarita is the ultimate summer margarita recipe. Made with fresh watermelon juice, and served icy-cold, it's the perfect refreshing summertime sipper. I've also included easy pitcher measurements for stress-free entertaining!

Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small pitcher or jar (I use a 16-ounce mason jar). Stir it or put the top on and give a few good shakes to combine. Pour over 2 ice-filled glasses, dividing equally. Taste and adjust flavors if desired - add lime for more tartness, a bit of simple syrup or honey for extra sweetness. Watermelon can vary greatly in flavor and sweetness, so adjust as needed.
Notes
- To make ½ cup fresh watermelon juice: Cut seedless watermelon into 1" cubes. Add about 1 cup of watermelon cubes to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve over a bowl; discard solids.
- For 4 drinks (a small pitcher): Use 1 cup watermelon juice (from about 2 cups cubed watermelon), 3 ounces lime juice, 3 ounces tequila, and 2 ounces orange liqueur. Stir all ingredients in a pitcher up to 4 hours prior to serving, and refrigerate. Then divide between 4 ice-filled glasses, and garnish.
- For 8 drinks (a large pitcher): Use 2 cups watermelon juice (from about 4 cups cubed watermelon), 6 ounces lime juice, 6 ounces tequila, and 4 ounces orange liqueur. Stir all ingredients in a pitcher up to 4 hours prior to serving, and refrigerate. Then divide between 8 ice-filled glasses, and garnish.
- For a lighter watermelon margarita refresher: Pour half the amount for 1 regular drink into a tall glass with ice. Then top with cold club soda. Add a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
