Prep Time 5 minutes Total Time 5 minutes Servings 3 servings

Ingredients

Rim/ Garnish
lime wedge
margarita salt
watermelon slice

Watermelon Margarita
2 ½ cups frozen watermelon chunks
6 oz silver tequila
4 oz triple sec
⅔ cup frozen limeade concentrate
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup simple syrup
1 cup ice

Instructions

Add a generous amount of margarita salt to a small plate.
Run a lime wedge along the rim of your glasses and dip into the salt. Set aside.
If using fresh watermelon, slice into small chunks and freeze for a few hours before using.
Add the frozen watermelon, tequila, triple sec, frozen limeade concentrate, lime juice, and
simple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
If needed, add the ice and blend until smooth and it becomes a slushy consistency.
Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with a watermelon wedge. Enjoy!

Notes

Use ripe, seedless watermelon for the best flavor.
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or extra lime juice to blend easily.
Pour any leftovers into a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer. Before serving, let it thaw slightly and re-blend to restore the slushy texture.
This recipe scales easily. Just be sure your blender can handle the increased volume, or work in batches.
