Equipment

  • blender I LOVE my Blendtec Designer Series Blender! We use it daily!
  • Citrus Juicer This hand-held citrus juicer is fantastic for fresh lime and lemon juice. Great for making cocktails!
  • Cocktail Shaker The useful glass cocktail shaker has measurements on the side for easy pouring!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh watermelon
  • 2 oz. tequila
  • 1 oz. Cointreau
  • 1 oz. lime juice fresh squeezed

Optional Garnishes:

  • lime slices
  • small watermelon wedges

Instructions
 

  • For salted margarita glasses: (do this step first) Run a lime wedge around the rim(s) of your margarita glasses. Dip the wet edges in salt for salted rims. Set prepared glasses aside.
  • To a blender jar, add the ice, watermelon, tequila, Cointreau and fresh lime juice. Blend on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds or until the ice is completely pureed.
  • Pour into prepared margarita glass. If desired, garnish with fresh lime slices and small watermelon wedges. Enjoy margarita right away while cold.
  • Directions for On-the-Rocks
    Add ice to salted/prepared margarita glass(es). To a blender, add the fresh watermelon, tequila, lime juice and Cointreau. Blend just until watermelon is pureed - about 15-20 seconds. Pour over ice and enjoy right away.

Notes

When buying limes, purchase 1 lime for every margarita you plan to serve. Plus any additional limes for garnishes and/or salting rims. You can purchase bottles of lime juice in the juice/cocktail mix section of some grocery stores.
