Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed and frozen
- 1 large lime
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup silver tequila
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Remove rind from watermelon and cut into cubes. Freeze 4 cups watermelon for at least 4 hours.
- To make simple syrup, use peeler to remove zest from 1 large lime. Add lime peel to 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in small saucepan. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer just until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool in the refrigerator with the lime peel.
- In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon, simple syrup (with lime peel removed), juice from lime, and 3/4 cup silver tequila. Blend until smooth. No need for ice if the watermelon is frozen and the simple syrup is cold.kosher salt
- Use remainder of juiced lime to moisten the rims of the margarita glasses and then coat with kosher salt. (Alternatively, you can zest another lime and mix with salt, or you can use sugar and lime zest, or a combination of sugar and salt with lime zest.) Pour blended margaritas into glasses and garnish with a fresh lime slice.
