Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh watermelon
• 3 ounces tequila
• 1 ounce triple sec
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce simple syrup
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 unit lime wedge
• 0.25 cup salt or sugar (for rimming)
• 1 unit watermelon slice

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your glasses. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it. Then dip the rims into a plate filled with salt or sugar, depending on your preference. Set the glasses aside.

Step 2

Cut the watermelon into small cubes, removing any seeds, and measure out 2 cups.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the pulp. This should yield approximately 1 cup of watermelon juice.

Step 4

In a cocktail shaker, combine the watermelon juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. Add a generous handful of ice cubes.

Step 5

Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well combined and chilled.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Garnish each glass with a slice of watermelon on the rim.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing watermelon margarita.
