Easy Watermelon Margaritas

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

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!

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!
