Watermelon Margarita

My friends and I went for brunch at Cantina Alley in Sacramento, and I had a super delicious watermelon margarita.

The best part about it was that it was a watermelon margarita, in an actual watermelon.

I found myself wanting more when I was back home in Los Angeles, so I decided to make it myself.

Servings 1

Equipment

• 1 Blender or Juicer
• 1 Strainer Strainer only needed if using blender
• 1 Muddler

Ingredients

  

• 1 Mini watermelon
• 2 Limes
• Trader Joes Chile Lime seasoning for garnish
• Tequila of your choice Eyeball it to your liking
• Ice

Instructions

 

• Slice the top of a washed mini watermelon to give it a cap or lid effect
• Scoop out the watermelon and place it in a blender or juicer
• If using a blender, muddle the watermelon in the blender to release any juice and blend the remainder to the most juice-like consistency you can achieve. If using a juicer, set aside the juice once it's complete
• Strain the watermelon juice from the blender into a jug until it's separated from the pulp
• Add as little or as much tequila as you want to the juice. 4 oz is a good place to start
• Squeeze in half a lime and stir the mixture
• Add ice to the empty watermelon shell
• Pour mixture into the watermelon shell -- use the sliced off piece to help the shell stay in place and keep from tilting over
• Cut one lime into quarters and place in the watermelon shell
• Sprinkle some chile lemon seasoning on the rim of the watermelon shell - any residue that goes into the shell is okay
• Sit back, relax, and enjoy
