Watermelon Tequila Twist
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 strips orange zest
  • 2 cups cubed seeded watermelon
  • 3/4 cup white tequila
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt or sugar for rimming glasses
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups crushed ice, or as needed
Instructions
1
To create a simple syrup, combine 1/2 cup sugar, water, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over high heat, stirring continuously until it reaches a boil. Continue to cook for approximately 3 minutes or until the sugar has fully dissolved. Once the syrup is ready, remove it from the heat source and allow it to cool completely before use.
2
Next, blend a watermelon in a blender or food processor until it reaches a smooth consistency.
3
Combine the blended watermelon puree with prepared simple syrup, tequila, and lime juice in a large pitcher. Stir the mixture well to combine.
4
To prepare the glasses for serving, place a small amount of salt or sugar onto a flat surface, such as a saucer. Rub the edge of your margarita glasses with a lime wedge to moisten them. Dip the rim of the glass into the saucer, gently tapping off any excess salt or sugar to create a rim.
5
Fill your prepared glasses with crushed ice, then pour the margarita mixture into each glass. Finally, garnish your glasses with lime wedges and serve immediately
