    My Love for Margaritas!!

    I didn’t have a chance to try Margaritas until I moved to Miami 20 years ago. I can say that it is one of my favorite drinks. For a long time, I had the classic margarita, either frozen or on the rocks but why mess with perfection right? So I refused to try any new flavors because the classic was just perfect.

    But then I got to try Strawberry, Raspberry and Watermelon margaritas and OMG!! Each one was perfect and I had to learn to make them at home.

    How To Make Frozen Watermelon Margarita?

    Well, you’ll need watermelon to start:)). And tequila. If you have these 2 ingredients, the rest you can adjust, substitute or even do without.

    • You can juice the watermelon and then add ice to blender. Or cut the watermelon in cube shape, place on a bowl that you can cover, freeze and that will help you not have to juice the watermelon. I prefer freezing the watermelon. However, if you have to make margaritas in a pinch and you don’t have the frozen watermelon, juicing and ice cubes work just fine.
    • Rimming with Salt or Sugar – well this will have to be your choice!! I’m the person that asks for extra salt, lots of salt when I order a margarita. However, when it comes to watermelon margarita I love a little sugar rim. This time I used this Golden Sugar I recently found in my local grocery store. It makes the drink so pretty and the sugar is less processed.
    • Simple Syrup, Triple Sec – I don’t use simple syrup, if I need to make my margarita sweeter, I add some honey or agave to the blender. I do use triple sec, I feel it adds some dimension to the taste.
    • Lime juice – I love adding 1-2 tbsps of lime juice to the blend.
    • Garnish with lime slices or watermelon slices. Add salt or sugar to the rim.

    Notes

    • If you’re in a pinch and don’t have all ingredients – just blending frozen watermelon and tequila will still give you a decent drink to satisfy the craving. The recipe just helps give it that special touch that you feel like you are really in a resort!

        Hi Maria, I make it just a frozen mocktail with no alcohol for my kids and they love it when we spend these hot summer days in the backyard. For the mocktail I blend frozen watermelon, lime juice and about 2 ozs of water. If you like the mocktail to be sweeter add some honey too.
