I love making watermelon margaritas. When I am done with a watermelon (because there is always leftover when you buy a big one) I pull the fruit and pulverize and set it in ice trays then bag the cubes for later use. When I want margaritas I toss in some watermelon cubes, a splash of OJ, a squeeze of agave nectar, and some Patron in a blender. Serve in a lime and salt rimmed mason jar.
Yes, please, one for me. That looks so good!
Interesting. I'm having a BBQ this weekend and might have to try this. I'm also making sangria, which will get everyone good and schnokered!
