Refreshing Summer Watermelon Margarita

10 minServes 4

When it's nothing but hot, hot, hot, these simple, refreshing summer drinks — with or without alcohol — are a great way to cool down!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed seeded watermelon (freeze for frozen drinks!)
  • Juice of two lemons, or 4 limes
  • ADULTS-ONLY: 3/4 cup good tequila, shot of triple sec
  • Optional garnish: lime wedges, watermelon wedges (rind on), mint, cayenne pepper, sugar on rim of glass

Instructions

  1. 1FROZEN: Add watermelon and citrus juice to the blender with 1/4 cup of water and adult ingredients if using. Blend, tamping down as needed, until smooth — do not over-blend, you want this thick and frosty. Serve immediately.
  2. 2NON-FROZEN: Add watermelon and citrus juice, plus adult ingredients if using, to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour over ice to serve.

Jennifer's tip

Freeze the watermelon cubes ahead of time for the best frozen version — it makes the drink thicker and more intensely flavored than adding ice. The non-alcoholic version is equally delicious and refreshing.
