Watermelon Margaritas

 

What alcohol is in a watermelon margarita?

For a refreshing watermelon margarita, just mix watermelon and lime juice with tequila.  It is that simple!  This frosty summer cocktail is a delicious way to sip away the afternoon. 

Because of the sweetness of the watermelon, this margarita doesn’t need much sugar on the rim. Go with salt for a balance of sweet and salty! If you are looking for more summer cocktail ideas, check out my  pomegranate margarita.
