Watermelon Lime Margarita

Written in part with MODE Media:

We're always on the hunt for cocktails that are both refreshing and use seasonal ingredients; and while we love traditional margaritas, we couldn't pass up a chance to try a new twist on the classic.

Prep Time:

5-10 minutes

Tool Kit:

White Tequila ( Don Julio)

Lime (Juice and Garnish)

Agave Nectar

Watermelon (Pureed)

Orange Juice 

 

Directions:

1. Slice watermelon into cubes, removing the exterior rind, cutting into 1" pieces. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth.

2. In a cocktail shaker add 1 oz. of watermelon puree, 1 oz. of lime juice, 1 oz, tequila, 1 tsp of agave and shake!

3. Pour over crushed ice, float 1/2 oz. of orange juice and garnish with sliced lime.

 

Cheers!
