Ingredients
- 1¼ cups watermelon juice (1 small ripe watermelon yields ~3-5 cups juice)
- 2½ Tbsp lime juice
- 5 Tbsp silver tequila (5 Tbsp = 2½ ounces)
- Sea salt (optional // for lining rim)
Instructions
- Pack a large blender full of cubed ripe watermelon (with or without seeds) and blend until you have a juice. One small watermelon should yield roughly 3-5 cups (720-1200 ml), so you will have leftover juice (as original recipe is written) for extra margaritas. You can choose to strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp, but I didn’t find it necessary.
- To make margaritas, add watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila and a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously to combine. Sample a small amount and adjust flavor as needed, adding more watermelon juice for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or tequila for booziness.
- Line the rim of two serving glasses (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) with lime juice and sea salt (optional). Add ice and pour over margaritas.
- Best when fresh! Leftover watermelon juice will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days
