Calories: 262kcal
Ingredients
FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
FOR THE WATERMELON JUICE:
- 1 small seedless watermelon (or ½ of a large watermelon), cut into cubes
FOR THE MARGARITAS:
- ¼ cup watermelon juice
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ½ ounce tequila
- ½ ounce orange liqueur
Instructions
- Add the water and sugar to a saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.
- To make the watermelon juice, add the cubed watermelon to a blender and blend until it is pureed. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and pour the puree over the sieve. Use a whisk (if desired) to hurry the watermelon through the sieve. Set the strained juice aside.
- To make the margarita, garnish the glass with a salt or sugar rim, if desired. Then, fill it to the top with ice. Add ice to a shaker as well (if you have one).
- Add a ¼ cup watermelon juice, lime juice, ¼ cup simple syrup, tequila, orange liqueur, and a pinch of salt to the shaker. Secure the lid on the shaker tightly and shake until chilled.
- Pour the contents of the shaker into the glass. If you do not have a shaker, add the ingredient directly to the glass and stir well. Serve and enjoy!
