Print Recipe

A perfectly balanced, icy frozen watermelon margarita made with fresh watermelon, reposado tequila, lime juice, and a touch of agave nectar. This quick and easy summer cocktail is refreshing and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) reposado tequila
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 3 cups ice cubes
  • Coarse sea salt or kosher salt for rimming
  • Lime wedges and watermelon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (about 600 grams) of fresh watermelon into cubes and remove seeds if needed. Place in the blender. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
  2. Pulse the watermelon in the blender until smooth but still slightly textured, like thick juice. (Time: 1-2 minutes)
  3. Add 1 cup (240 ml) reposado tequila, 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup (60 ml) triple sec, and 2 tablespoons agave nectar to the blender. Blend until combined. (Time: 1 minute)
  4. Add about 3 cups of ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is slushy and smooth with no large ice chunks. Adjust thickness by adding water or lime juice if too thick, or more ice if too thin. (Time: 2-3 minutes)
  5. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of glasses and dip into coarse salt. Pour the frozen watermelon margarita into glasses immediately. Garnish with a lime wedge and small watermelon slice. Serve fresh. (Time: 3 minutes)

Notes

Use ripe watermelon for best flavor. Pulse ice in short bursts to avoid large chunks or dilution. Chill glasses before serving to keep margarita colder longer. If margarita separates after sitting, stir or blend briefly before serving again. For a lighter cocktail, replace half the tequila with sparkling water or soda. For a non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and triple sec and add extra watermelon juice and lime soda.
