Cup of Yum
Frozen Watermelon Margaritas
- Cut the watermelon into cubes and then place them in a single layer onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 6 hours or over overnight. Transfer frozen watermelon to a large freezer bag for easy storage until ready to use.
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of two glasses. Dip the edges of the glasses in salt and tajin or chili powder.
- Add frozen watermelon, tequila, lime juice, and ice to a blender. Blend until slushy.
- Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to get a ripe watermelon to ensure the fruit is juicy and sweet! Here's a great article with tips on how to pick a good watermelon.
- You can use gold or silver tequila. I personally prefer the taste of gold or anejo tequila in this recipe because it compliments the refreshing watermelon very well, but silver or blanco tequila also works!
