Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups watermelon juice ((1 small ripe watermelon yields ~3-5 cups juice))
- 2 ½ Tbsp lime juice
- 5 Tbsp silver tequila ((5 Tbsp = 2 1/2 ounces))
- Sea salt ((optional // for lining rim))
Steps
-
Pack a large blender full of cubed ripe watermelon (with or without seeds) and blend until you have a juice. One small watermelon should yield roughly 3-5 cups (720-1200 ml), so you will have leftover juice (as original recipe is written) for extra margaritas. You can choose to strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp, but I didn't find it necessary.
-
To make margaritas, add watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila and a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously to combine. Sample a small amount and adjust flavor as needed, adding more watermelon juice for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or tequila for booziness.
-
Line the rim of two serving glasses (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) with lime juice and sea salt (optional). Add ice and pour over margaritas.
-
Best when fresh! Leftover watermelon juice will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
