Frozen Watermelon Margarita

Makesabout 6 Margaritas
July 1997
In these margaritas, frozen watermelon takes the place of ice. Blending in the seeds gives the drinks a striking speckled appearance.

This recipe makes 1 blenderful; for 16 people, you’ll probably need to make at least 3 batches.
  • a 3-pound piece watermelon
  • 1 cup white Tequila
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
  • 1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
  • Remove rind from watermelon and cut enough fruit into 1-inch pieces to measure 5 cups. Freeze watermelon in a sealable plastic bag at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.
  • In a 5- to 6-cup blender blend frozen watermelon with remaining ingredients until thick and smooth.
