So grab your blender, some fresh ingredients, and let’s make this summer sensation!

Ingredients:

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
1/2 cup El Jimador tequila (silver or reposado)
1/4 cup triple sec or Cointreau
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Lime wedges and watermelon slices (for garnish)
Coarse salt or sugar (for rimming the glasses)

Instructions:

Freeze the Watermelon: Start by cutting a seedless watermelon into cubes and freezing them for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid. This will give your margaritas a thick, slushy texture.
Prepare the Glasses: Before blending, rim your margarita glasses with lime juice and dip them into coarse salt or sugar. This adds a fun and tasty touch to your drinks.
Blend the Margarita: In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, tequila, triple sec (or Cointreau), fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (or agave nectar). Blend until smooth. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
Taste and Adjust: Taste your margarita mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness to your liking by adding more simple syrup or lime juice as needed.
Serve: Pour the frozen watermelon margaritas into the prepared glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and watermelon slices for a festive touch.
Enjoy: Sip, relax, and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer in a glass. Cheers to an unforgettable Taco Tuesday!

Pro Tips:

For an extra kick, add a splash of watermelon liqueur or a few fresh mint leaves to the blender.
If you don’t have time to freeze the watermelon, you can use fresh watermelon and add more ice cubes to achieve the slushy texture.
To make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the tequila and triple sec, and blend the watermelon with lime juice, a bit of water, and sweetener to taste.

Frozen Watermelon Margaritas are the perfect way to cool down and add a splash of fun to your Taco Tuesday celebrations and summer barbeques.

1 oz agave syrup (or to taste)
1 cup ice cubes
Optional: Tajín or sugar for rimming, lime wheel, or passion fruit slice for garnish

Instructions

Rim your margarita glass with Tajín or sugar, depending on whether you want tangy or sweet.
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and frosty.
Pour into your prepared glass, garnish with a lime wheel and a spoonful of passion fruit pulp.
