Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ oz tequila
  • ½ oz Triple Sec liqueur
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 5 oz watermelon pureed
  • 1 cup ice
  • agave nectar optional
  • Kosher salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Blend watermelon chunks in a blender until smooth. Set aside. 
  • Add tequila, Triple Sec, watermelon, lime, agave (optional) and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well. 
  • Add salt to a saucer plate. Wet the edge of the glass with lime juice and push it into the salt to rim glass.
  • Pour cocktail into salt rimmed glass and enjoy! 

Notes

  • I opted to skip the agave nectar in this cocktail. To me, it made the margarita too sweet. The watermelon adds enough sweetness for my taste.
  • You can add 1 cup of water to the watermelon chunks before blending to make watermelon juice. Strain the juice to remove the pulp and proceed.
