Servings 2
Equipment
- Blender*
Ingredients
- 14 oz (400 g) watermelon diced (yields 330 ml watermelon juice)
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) silver tequila
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) lime juice from 3 limes
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice
- Sea salt for lining rim (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Add diced watermelon to a blender or food processor and blend until it's juice. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds and pulp.
- Combine watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila, and sweetener in a bowl or shake the mixture in a cocktail shaker if you have one. Taste it and add more sweetener if needed.
- Cut a lime into wedges and rub against the outer rim of the glass. Dip each glass upside down onto a small plate, that has some salt on it, to cover the rim with the salt. This step is optional but it looks nice.
- Add ice cubes and pour in the watermelon mix. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Freeze the watermelon for a couple of hours to make frozen watermelon margarita.
- I used 1 tablespoon of Erythritol to sweeten the margaritas but you can use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup if you prefer.
- For additional flavor, you could add in some strawberries, pineapple cubes, or even passion fruit.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to a spicy kick or infuse the margaritas with some jalapeño slices.
