What Makes This Recipe So Good

Watermelon – Light, sweet, and juicy, watermelon pairs perfectly with the stronger flavor of the tequila.
Tequila – Made from the blue agave plant, tequila is a must-have for a margarita.
Lime juice – Just a hint of lime juice is all you’ll need to enhance the flavor of the tequila without overwhelming the watermelon. (Wondering how much juice is in your lime?)

How To Make Watermelon Margaritas

The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!

Chef’s Tips

We used frozen watermelon cubes for our margaritas to make them perfectly slushy and chilled. If you don’t have time to freeze your watermelon, serve your margaritas over ice.
This recipe makes either 4 small margaritas or 2 large ones (or 1 really jumbo one).
To rim your glass, make a small cut down the middle of a lime wedge. Stick this cut right on the edge of your glass, and rub the lime all the way around. Dip the lime-covered edge into a shallow bowl or dish filled with coarse salt or granulated sugar.
