With only THREE ingredients, Fresh watermelon, lime, and tequila blend together perfectly in these delicious summery Watermelon Margaritas!

Fresh watermelon, lime, and tequila blend together perfectly in these delicious summery Watermelon Margaritas! So refreshing and easy to make!One thing I love about summer is summer cocktails (including watermelon margaritas!).  BBQ's, cookouts, potlucks...wherever you are going, a margarita is appropriate.  Usually I love making margaritas with berries (love these Super Easy Strawberry Basil Margaritas), but since watermelon is everywhere during this time of year, I decided to switch it up.  Mixing sweet watermelon with lime flavors and alcohol, is a winning combination.  These easy watermelon margaritas can be served on the rocks (my favorite!) or blended!

Fresh watermelon, lime, and tequila blend together perfectly in these delicious summery Watermelon Margaritas! So refreshing and easy to make!

How to make Watermelon Margaritas:

  • Cut up a fresh watermelon. You are going to need 4 cups of watermelon separated from the rind. 
  • Using a high powered blender, add watermelon, limeade, water, and tequila to the container - let her rip!
  • Let the mixture sit. Place the blender container in the fridge and leave it at least an hour.
  • When you're ready to serve the watermelon margaritas, prep the glasses. Dip the rim in lime juice and press into salt or sugar. I like both!  Stir the watermelon margarita mixture, then pour

Can I use a different alcohol for this margarita?

Sure! It won't technically be a margarita then, but feel free to use vodka, rum, or gin - I think they would all be refreshing!

Can I make these Watermelon Margaritas for 2 people? How about a crowd?

  • Absolutely. See the recipe card below on how to make watermelon margaritas for a few people, or a crowd of people. 
  • I actually preferred the version made in the pitcher, with the frozen limeade, however the shaker version was good as well.  

TIP: The watermelon really soaks up the tequila here, so make sure to eat those for a boozy treat!

More delicious cocktails you might enjoy:

  • Strawberry Basil Margarita Popsicles are not only boozy and delicious, but they are simple to make! Everyone is going to be begging for them this summer!
  • Strawberry Coconut Cocktail is the perfect refreshing cocktail! It’s sweet and coconut-y! Only 4 ingredients and super easy to make!
  • Strawberry Basil Margaritas contain only FOUR ingredients and they are amazingly delicious! I make these for every event and they are always a HUGE hit!
  • Strawberry Moscow Mules– a spin on traditional Moscow Mules: Ginger Beer, Lime, Vodka, & Strawberries make the perfect combination for this warm weather drink!
  • Pineapple Mojitos are full of fresh pineapple, mint, and lime! They are bursting with flavor and make the best summer cocktail!
