Watermelon margarita recipe
Since this is a batch cocktail, it’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add ice to each glass and pour the margarita mix in. And dip the edges of the glasses in the salt. Transfer to the fridge to chill for 1 to 2 hours or up to 3 days.
If you over-spice your tequila, just dilute it to taste with plain tequila. Or, infuse it for 3 days and, well, that was too spicy even for me, and I have a pretty high spice tolerance. Infuse it for a day, and it’ll be pretty spicy. Infuse it for 15 minutes, and it’ll be mild. I like to make this recipe with jalapeño tequila, which you can make as spicy as you like. Fill the prepared glass with ice, pour in the blended watermelon juice, and mix in the tequila. To do this, rub the rim of an empty margarita glass with a lime wedge, and dip the rim in a small plate of coarse sea salt or kosher salt. Honestly, this cocktail tastes great on its own, but if you want to take it to the next level, salt the rim of your glass. Taste and adjust, and enjoy!įind the complete recipe with measurements below.
Salt the rim of your glass, pour in the frozen watermelon juice, and stir in a splash of tequila (or spicy tequila). When you’re ready to make your drink, blend the watermelon with the lime juice and ice. If you like your drink with a spicy kick, it’s fun to add a few jalapeño slices too. You’ll also need ice and salt for the rim of your glass. Unlike a classic margarita, which includes simple syrup and an orange liqueur like triple sec, this watermelon margarita recipe uses 3 key ingredients: lime juice, tequila, and fresh watermelon. It’s a fun cocktail to enjoy on its own, but if you want to take this watermelon margarita to the next level, serve it with tortilla chips, guac, and your favorite salsa. Thanks to the watermelon, it’s naturally sweet, and plenty of lime juice gives it a delicious tart finish. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the weekend than with this watermelon margarita recipe! It’s super easy to make (no cocktail shaker required!), and its vibrant color just screams summer. To make margaritas, add watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila and a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously to combine.
