On the Rocks Margaritas
Puree the watermelon, lime juice, and cucumber together in a blender until smooth.
Strain puree through a fine kitchen strainer over a bowl to remove the pulp.
Add ice to your glasses. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of tequila and 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier into each of the prepared glasses.
- Both fresh and frozen watermelon can be used for this recipe. If you want to make frozen margaritas, chop your watermelon and add to a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze for up to 6 hours or overnight. Puree with the rest of the margarita ingredients until smooth and serve.
- English cucumbers are best for this recipe as they have essentially no seeds and puree smoother in the blender.
- Keep a few mint leaves on hand for a pretty garnish to finish off these summery margaritas. Trust me, you'll want to make these cucumber watermelon margaritas a few times before this summer is over.
- Want to make these margaritas a little sweeter? Add about 1 oz of simple syrup to the blender before blending.
