INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup frozen watermelon chunks frozen for at least 2 hours ( Note 1)
  • 1.5 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • .5 ounces triple sec
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave
  • Salt and lime wheel for the rim
  • Watermelon wedges mint, and/or lime zest for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain. Add more watermelon chunks or a splash of water to adjust the consistency based on your preference. The mixture should be thick. Use the tamper to help the watermelon blend if needed.

  • Add kosher or sea salt to a shallow bowl or dish. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass. Turn the glass upside down into the salt to rim the glass with salt.

Notes

Note 1. Frozen Watermelon. Cut the watermelon into cubes and arrange them on a large foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Store in the freezer for at least two hours or up to 6 months. If you aren’t using it all right away, transfer the frozen watermelon pieces to a large freezer bag. I like to freeze an entire watermelon at once and so I have watermelon ready any time.
