Instructions
Watermelon Mint Margarita Recipe
- In a cocktail shaker, add mint leaves. Muddle lightly with a muddler or the back of a spoon until lightly crushed.
- Add tequila, triple sec, watermelon juice, lime juice, and a handful of ice, shake well.
- Rim two glasses with margarita salt (if desired).
- Strain divided between two glasses over ice, top with about 2 oz club soda per glass. Garnish with extra mint and lime wedges if desired.
Homemade Watermelon Juice
- Add watermelon to blender, blend on high until it is completely blended.
- If desired, pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the extra thick pulp (if you don’t mind it pulpy, you can skip this step).
- Refrigerate until ready to use - it should keep about 3 days. The juice may separate when sitting, so just give it a shake or stir before using.
