Watermelon Margarita

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I bought a big watermelon the other day at the grocery store with the idea of making some fresh watermelon juice.  Of course, once I had the juice made my mind naturally went directly to using it in a cocktail… A Watermelon Margarita to be exact!

Watermelon Margarita with fresh watermelon juice

To make the watermelon juice all you have to do is cut up some watermelon in chunks and process it in a food processor or blender. If you don’t want the pulp, pour it into a fine mesh strainer and let the juice drip into a pitcher and discard the pulp. And as a reference, I juiced an entire watermelon and got 9 cups of juice so you certainly don’t need to juice a whole watermelon unless you want the juice for smoothies…or lots of cocktails!

Along with the standard margarita ingredients of tequila and lime, I also added Cointreau and mint simple syrup.  First I tried it without the mint simple syrup and it was good, but I thought it was so much better with it!  I’m on a kick of flavored simple syrup lately…it’s just so good!

Enjoy. Responsibly, of course!
