Ingredients

• 2 cups (cubed) Watermelon
• 0.5 (medium, peeled and sliced) Cucumber
• 4 ounces Tequila
• 2 ounces Fresh lime juice
• 2 ounces Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau)
• 1 ounce Simple syrup (or agave syrup)
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons (for rimming the glasses, optional) Salt
• 1 (for rimming the glasses, optional) Lime wedge
• 2 (for garnish) Cucumber slices
• 2 (for garnish) Watermelon cubes

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your glasses. If you prefer a salted rim, rub the rim of each glass with a lime wedge, then dip it into a plate of salt. Set the glasses aside.

Step 2

Place the cubed watermelon and sliced cucumber into a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any pulp.

Step 3

In a cocktail shaker, add 4 ounces of tequila, 2 ounces of fresh lime juice, 2 ounces of orange liqueur, 1 ounce of simple syrup, and 1 cup of ice cubes.

Step 4

Pour in the strained watermelon and cucumber juice. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds until well chilled.

Step 5

Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes and strain the margarita mixture into the glasses.

Step 6

Garnish each glass with a cucumber slice and a watermelon cube on the rim or skewer them together for a more decorative presentation.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Cucumber Margarita!
