Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz orange liqueur
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1/2 cup diced watermelon
- 6-8 mint leaves
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Salt for the rim (optional)
- Extra mint leaves and a watermelon slice for garnish
Instructions
- First, rub the rim of your glass with lime and dip it in salt if you like.
- In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend until smooth.
- Gently muddle the mint leaves in your glass to release their flavor.
- Pour the blended mixture into the glass over the muddled mint.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves and a watermelon slice. Enjoy your refreshing cocktail.
Notes
For the best taste, use ripe, sweet watermelon and fresh lime juice. If you want your margarita less sweet, adjust the simple syrup to your liking. And, for an extra minty flavor, you can blend some of the mint leaves with the watermelon.
