Watermelon Margarita

I love watermelon!  It is one of my favorite fruits – the best on a super hot day!  A long time ago, I visited a resort in the Dominican that served watermelon juice with their breakfast buffet.  I was hooked after the first sip.  It was so refreshing, not super sweet – just perfect!

I just read about a new alcoholic drink that has watermelon as the main ingredient.  YES!  Here it is…and don’t think I am NOT going to try to make it this weekend!  (I wish my husband read my blog because then he would know that I really want him to go to the supermarket and get some watermelon!!)  If anyone talks to him before I do…please pass that tidbit along 🙂

WATERMELON MARGARITA

3 cups of seedless watermelon pulp

1 cup fresh lime juice

2 cups simple syrup

1.5 cups premium silver tequila

1/2 cup triple sec

3 cups ice

Place watermelon in a bowl and mash it with a potato masher, trying to get out as much juice as you can!  Put the pulp and the juice into a super cool pitcher – I’m thinking clear glass – and then add the lime juice, simple syrup, triple sec, and tequila.  Stir.  Add the three cups of ice, place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Serve over ice.
