Instructions
To Make Watermelon Margaritas:
- Cube up your watermelon and add it to a blender. Blend it up until very smooth, about 1 minute. You may need to do this in batches depending on how big your blender is. You also might need that little stopper/mixer tool to get it going.
- Place a sieve over a big measuring cup or pitcher and pour the watermelon puree through it. Work it through the sieve by using a whisk. And then discard the pulp. I ended up with about 5 cups of watermelon juice.
- Mix in the tequila, cointreau and lime juice. Give it a taste and adjust the alcohol to your liking. I purposefully made it on the lighter side; add more if you want it boozier.
- Fill a shallow small plate with kosher salt. Run a lime wedge around the edge of your glasses and dip the rim in a salt. Add ice cubes to each of the glasses and then pour in the watermelon margarita mix. Serve with a garnish if you like (I made melon balls using a small teaspoon measure) and enjoy.
Notes
- Can I use other fruit for this? Yes, I would recommend using other melons like honeydew, cantaloupe, canary melons or winter melons. You may need to taste it and adjust the sweetener to taste. You could make a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) or add a bit of agave.
- Can I make this ahead? Yes, absolutely. Since this is a batch cocktail, it’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Can I make this without alcohol? Yep, you can leave out the alcohol and simply replace the cointreau with orange juice. It’ll give it the same flavor vibe.
