Ingredients
4 cups fresh watermelon cubes (seedless preferred)
4 oz Blanco or Reposado Tequila
2 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz agave nectar (optional, based on fruit sweetness)
Sea salt or Tajín for rimming
Lime wedges and mint sprigs for garnish
Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: Place the watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove the pulp, resulting in clear juice.
Step 2: Rub a lime wedge around the rims of two rocks glasses. Dip the rims into a small plate filled with salt or Tajín until coated.
Step 3: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 6 ounces of the fresh watermelon juice, the tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar.
Step 4: Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is frosty on the outside.
Step 5: Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice and strain the watermelon margarita recipe mixture evenly between them.
Step 6: Garnish with a small watermelon wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a frozen version, freeze the watermelon cubes beforehand and blend all ingredients together without straining.
