Step 4: When you’re ready to serve, simply add some ice cubes to the glasses and pour in the watermelon margarita mix. This step is entirely optional but looks lovely. Dip each glass onto a plate with salt on to over the rim. Step 3: To salt, the rim of the glasses, cut a lime into wedges and rub against the outer rim of the glass. Taste it and adjust the level of sweetener, if needed. Step 2: Combine the watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila, and sweetener either in a bowl or shake in a cocktail shaker. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds and excess pulp. Step 1: Add the diced watermelon to a blender or food processor and blend until it’s juice.

With all of that out of the way, let’s move on to the recipe.įor the full ingredients list, measurements, and nutritional information for this recipe, then find the recipe card below. Ice Ice Baby: For your watermelon margaritas on the rocks, always use big ice cubes! They’ll melt slower and avoid diluting the drink before you have a chance to finish it.That way, you don’t get salt on the inside of the glass, dropping into the drink.

How To Salt: When salting the rim, the key is to only rub the lime juice on the outside of the glass, then press it into the salt mixture.Plus, it keeps your drink cooler for longer! Chill The Glasses: If you chill the margarita glasses for around 30 minutes, pre-serving, then it can make it easier to add the salt rim.Shaken Not Stirred, Please: Not only is this best practice with any citrus-containing drink, but it also gives the margarita that frothy, airy appearance/texture.Note, these are all optional – but just some of my top tips for the best results! As my notes above state, you want the sweetest watermelon, fresh lime juice, and a high-quality tequila – but what else ‘makes’ a margarita? We already know that ingredient selection is key in a drink with such few ingredients. Always go heavy: The melon should feel heavy for its size – if you’re trying to choose between a few melons of similar size, always go for the heaviest one!.Tap it: If you tap the ‘underbelly’ area of your melon, it should have a deep, hollow sound rather than a dull thud.Look for brownish marks/scarring: Also called ‘sugar spots’ and various other names (i.e., webbing, pollination points, etc.) If your melon has lots of brown scar marks (that look like veins), this is usually an indication of sweet, ripe melon.Make sure it’s not shiny: A dull watermelon means ripeness, those gorgeous, shiny watermelons that look so good? Unripe!.If it’s white-ish, then it’s under-ripe, yellowy, and it’s ripe! Look for a big yellow patch: Watermelons will have a ‘worn away’ looking spot where they’ve been resting on the ground.So, the ripest, sweetest watermelon selection is key!īut, how do you go about choosing a melon that is flavorful and sweet rather than just watery and a little sad? Okay, this might sound a little bit odd, but choosing the best watermelon often means picking the one that looks worst from the outside. It’s also what is used to sweeten the drink.

In this watermelon margarita, the watermelon is the star (okay, along with the tequila!). However, if you need a little extra, then you can use additional agave syrup, maple, or another sweetener of your choice.
