Watermelon Lemonade Margarita

Prep Time: 10 mins  | Cook Time: 0 mins | Course: Drink | Servings: 4

Watermelon and a whole lemon mix with tequila to make a refreshing cocktail.  If you get a mealy watermelon or if it lacks flavor, cut it into chunks and freeze it in a ziplock bag. For a delicious mocktail, omit the liqueur and enjoy a frozen Summery drink.

6 cups watermelon chunks, frozen

1 whole lemon, cut into 4 pieces (or 1/2 cup lemon juice)

1 cup water

¾ cup tequila

¼ cup orange liqueur or triple sec

Lemon wedge for garnish

Salt or tajine for glass rim

Rim a margarita glass with a lemon wedge, then dip it in salt or tajine, if desired. Layer watermelon, lemon or lemon juice, water, tequila, and triple sec in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into the prepared margarita glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.
