Cool off this summer with a refreshing Cucumber Watermelon Margarita. The combination of juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and tangy lime make this margarita the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Serve this cocktail at your next barbecue or pool party for a crowd-pleasing treat.
In a blender, puree the watermelon and cucumber until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and discard any solids.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the watermelon cucumber juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar. Shake well.
Rim two glasses with salt (if desired). Fill the glasses with ice.
Pour the margarita mixture over the ice, dividing it evenly between the two glasses.
Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
Notes
For a more intense watermelon flavor, use a seedless watermelon or strain the juice through a cheesecloth to remove all the seeds.For a non-alcoholic version, omit the tequila and triple sec and add in 1/4 cup of sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.Try adding in a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick to your margarita!
