Ingredients

• 3 cups (cubed) Watermelon
• 0.25 cups Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cups Pure 100% agave tequila
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Raw honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 1 tablespoon Sea salt (optional, for rimming the glass)
• 1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)
• 1 piece Watermelon slice (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the watermelon into small cubes and measure out 3 cups.

Step 2

Add the watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove the pulp.

Step 3

In a small shallow dish, spread the sea salt if rimming the glass. Moisten the rim of each serving glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rims into the salt to coat. Set the glasses aside.

Step 4

In a shaker or large pitcher, combine the strained watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, tequila, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Add the raw honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired, and stir until well mixed.

Step 5

Fill the serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the margarita mixture over the ice.

Step 6

Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a slice of watermelon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the paleo-friendly refreshment!
