Print
3-5 cups fresh watermelon puree/juice (*see Cook’s note)2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
¼ cup key lime juice
¼ cup Agave nectar
½ cup premium 100% agave tequila
2 tablespoons triple sec
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 lime wedge per drink
1 cup ice
Mix agave, watermelon, and all citrus juices in a large pitcher. Refrigerate.
Chill a margarita glass in the freezer for 30 minutes. Place coarse salt in a shallow dish or saucer. Wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip the glass into the salt, coating the top edge.
In each glass, combine 3 tablespoons of watermelon mixture, 2 tablespoons of tequila, splash of triple sec and ice. Stir well with lime wedge, garnish with watermelon slice and serve.
*Cook’s Note: To make the watermelon puree, remove seeds from fresh watermelon and cut into large chunks. Place in blender and process until smooth and well pureed. Then strain.
Yields: 8-10 margaritas
