Frozen Watermelon Margarita Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the cubed watermelon with the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, confectioners' sugar, salt and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Divide among glasses; garnish each glass with 1 lime slice and 1 watermelon wedge.

Steps:

• Place the melon chunks in a plastic bag, and freeze until solid.
• Run the lime wedge around the rim of a large stemmed cocktail glass. Dip the moistened rim in salt. Set the lime wedge and glass aside. Repeat with the remaining wedges and 3 more glasses.
• Transfer about 3/4 of the melon chunks, separating them, to a blender. Add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, and blend until fairly smooth. Divide the cocktail mixture among the prepared glasses. Squeeze a lime wedge into each cocktail, drop the wedge into the glass and serve immediately.
• TEQUILA TIP:.
• For an extra touch of color and flavor, mix 2 teaspoons finely minced lime zest (colored peel) into the salt before rimming the glass.

Steps:

• Place watermelon in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the pureed watermelon into 2 empty ice cube trays and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Place 8 martini glasses in the freezer to chill.
• Place 2 cups of the watermelon ice cubes and the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into 4 glasses and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Garnish each glass with a watermelon wedge.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups ice, the cubed watermelon, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Divide between 2 glasses and garnish each glass with a lime slice and watermelon wedge.

Steps:

• Put cut watermelon in a plastic bag and place in freezer for a minimum of 2 hours. (If time does not permit this step, add a few extra ice cubes when blending, the difference is not that significant.)
• Stuff all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Garnish rim of glass with a lime wheel or a watermelon wedge and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the seeded watermelon cubes in a sealable plastic bag and freeze for a minimum of 8 hours. You can do this days ahead if you are planning a party.
• Before starting to make the beverage itself, cut one of your limes into 8 wedges for garnish. Cut the second lime in quarters and use it to moisten the rim of of your serving glasses. Place the sugar in a shallow bowl or small (dessert) plate. One by one, wipe the rim of each glass with the quartered lime, then dip in the sugar until you have a nice rim.
• Place half of the frozen watermelon, along with half the limeade and tequilla in a blender.
• Blend until the beverage is mixed and there are no fruit bits but it is still frosty and slushy.
• Pour into prepared glass and serve with a lime wedge for garnish.
• Repeat with second half of ingredients.

Steps:

• For the watermelon juice: Chop a watermelon into chunks, cutting off the rind and removing seeds. Whirl in a blender until pureed. A 5-pound melon should yield about 1 quart of juice.
• For the tarragon salt: Muddle together dried tarragon leaves and salt. Use a mortar and pestle if you have one, rather than a food processor; the mixture comes together better.
• For the simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together 1 cup water and 1 1/2 cups sugar until dissolved. Cook two minutes, remove from heat and cool. You'll have a lot left over; a bar staple, it will keep for at least a month in the refrigerator.
• Place the watermelon juice, tequila, orange liqueur and 2 tablespoons simple syrup into a blender. Squeeze the lime over the top of it, saving the rind to run over the edge of the glasses. Add the ice and blend until the liquid is slushy smooth.
• Rub the rim of a medium glass with the lime rind, then dip it in the tarragon salt. Pour the margarita. Garnish with a lime, melon ball or something unique, like a lychee nut.
• To make this drink virgin: Replace the tequila and orange liqueur with pineapple juice.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the lime wedge in a blender and blitz until smooth. Tip into a cocktail, margarita or rocks glass, garnish and serve.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Prepare the salted rim, if using: In a small shallow bowl or plate, combine the sea salt and Tajín. Set aside.
• In a shaker filled with ice, combine the watermelon juice, tequila, Cointreau (if using), lime juice and jalapeño (if using). Shake to combine. (Note: The watermelon flavor shines brighter without the Cointreau, but the liqueur takes the drink into more traditional margarita territory. If you'd like to compare, first try the mixture without, the liqueur, then add 1 ounce of it per serving.)
• Using one of the squeezed lime halves, run it along the rim of two rocks glasses, then dip the rims into the salt mixture. Fill the glasses with ice, then strain the margaritas into the glasses and enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• Watermelon-infused tequila:.
• Cut medium-size watermelon into 1" cubes (rind removed) until you have roughly 2 lbs. fruit. Transfer to laarge glass jar, pour in one 750 ml. bottle good-quality tequila, seal jar, and allow to steep for 2 days.
• To make 2 margaritas:.
• Combine 4 oz. of watermelon-infused tequila, 2 cups crushed ice, 2 oz. frozen limeade, 2 pieces of infused watermelon from jar, and 1 1/2 oz Cointreau in blender. Puree until slushy. Garnish with small wedge of watermelon.

Steps:

• Put the watermelon pieces in a freezerproof container and freeze overnight until solid. The next day, prepare the garnish for the rim of each glass. Combine the sea salt flakes, sugar, chilli flakes and lime zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
• When you want to serve, put the frozen watermelon, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and honey in a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. Run a lime wedge around the rims of four glasses, then dip in the garnish mix. Pour the drink into the glasses. Serve immediately.
