Take a Sip: WATERMELON MARGUERITA


Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 tsp salt - plus more for rimmer
  • 2 ounces lime juice - plus more for rimmer
  • 3 cups chopped seedless watermelon - plus more for rimmer
  • 4 sprigs of mint
  • 3 ounces white tequila or vodka - it also tastes great virgin!
  • 1 1/2 ounces simple syrup  (Recipe to follow)

What to do:
  • Blend salt, lime juice, and watermelon in a blender.
  • Muddle the mint sprigs.
  • Add the muddles mint, tequila or vodka, and simple syrup to the blender and quickly whiz again.
  • Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a glass, and rub in a flat plate full of salt.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge or a watermelon slice (if your remembered to keep some!)
  • Enjoy!

Serves 2

Note:  You can freeze chopped watermelon chunks in an airtight baggie for future use!

Simple Syrup:

Boil equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves.  Let cool and store in a jar in your fridge.
Some of this lives in my fridge in all the warmer months!  P.S.  I use about 1/4 cup sugar (I also use raw cane, not plain old white) to 1 cup of water, I don't need it anywhere that sweet, so adjust to your taste.
