Ingredients
Cocktail Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh watermelon juice
- 1½ ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1½ ounces blanco tequila
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- Optional: coarse salt for salted glass rim
- Optional: thin watermelon wedges and fresh lime wedges or wheels for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add fresh watermelon juice, lime juice, blanco tequila, and orange liqueur into a small pitcher or jar. A 16-ounce mason jar works well for this.
- Mix the Cocktail: Stir the mixture well with a spoon or put the lid on and shake vigorously to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Prepare the Glasses: If desired, rim your glasses with coarse salt by moistening the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it into salt.
- Serve: Pour the margarita evenly into two ice-filled glasses.
- Taste & Adjust: Taste the cocktail and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice for tartness or a little simple syrup or honey if you prefer it sweeter, as watermelon sweetness can vary.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with thin watermelon wedges and lime wheels or wedges for a beautiful, refreshing touch.
Notes
- For fresh watermelon juice, blend watermelon chunks and strain through a fine sieve to remove pulp.
- Adjust sweetness according to the natural sweetness of your watermelon.
- Use good quality blanco tequila and fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately over ice for optimal freshness and chill.
