3-Ingredient Watermelon Margarita

I have a very tough time picking favorites when it comes to summer fruit. My husband, on the other hand, is very decisive: watermelon or bust. Needless to say, when watermelon comes into season, we tend to overdo it. We cart home giant melons from the farmers market and eat our weight in the juicy, refreshing fruit. And while we can get through about half the haul eating it in chunks or wedges, we’ve found that the best way to give the rest of it new life is in the form of cocktails.

This pretty pink drink is just about as refreshing as it gets this time of year, and is all too easy to sip. What’s better? It’s just three ingredients.

If the only pink drink you’re sipping is rosé this time of year, it’s time to broaden your horizons. This eye-catching cocktail gets its bright-pink hue from fresh watermelon juice and comes together quickly with a whirl of the blender. Combine it with tequila and lime juice, and you have a fun twist on a margarita that’s sweet, tart, and dangerously drinkable.

If you prefer your margaritas frozen, simply blend everything in a blender and skip the straining and shaking steps.
