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.

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.
