I do realize that this is the second post in a row that is about an alcoholic beverage, but as a foodie and chef, I feel the pairing of beverages with food is just as important as the food itself (I also just really like Tequila). Being the Fourth of July weekend, I wanted to do something Summer-y and festive….and considering it’s about 4 billion degrees outside, and feels like you’re sitting on the core of the sun, I also wanted something cold and refreshing. This is a great margarita to make in large quantities and serve at a party – or it can be made individually and sipped while relaxing out by a pool or on the beach!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup Watermelon (seedless)
  • 1/2 Cup Frozen Strawberries
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1/2 Cup Tequila (I used Jose Cuervo Gold)
  • 1/4 Cup Triple Sec
  • Ice

Directions

  • In a blender (like a Vitamix), combine your watermelon, strawberry, lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Blend for about 20-30 seconds until completely smooth.
  • Rub the rims of two glasses with a little lime juice. Then dip in salt to coat the rim with salt evenly. Set aside.
