Pretty in Pink - homemade watermelon margarita

With the renewal of spring upon us, it’s the perfect time to get inspired with something that’s lightweight, easy to make and on top of that delicious! Yes, it’s margarita time! I’m not preaching about just any margaritas—  I’m talking about a good old fashioned homemade Watermelon Margarita! YUM!

I was inspired yesterday by this Howcast.com video and I couldn’t get over how easy it was to make. It was also a special day, my birthday, so I figured what better way to celebrate with family than to make a batch of freshly prepared watermelon margaritas out back on the deck while enjoying the beautiful weather. I headed out to my local grocery store and here are the ingredients I purchased. Now, you can use variations that you have on hand at home or go step by step on the list of items added with the video. Either way, I promise you these drinks will be a crowd pleaser! 

You'll need: 

• 1 Bottle of Tequila – 100% De Agave 
• 1 Bottle of Agave Nectar  
• 6 Limes (for your lime juice) 
• 2 containers of Watermelon Chunks (to blend and make your homemade watermelon juice) 

Here's the video ingredients: 
2 oz Blanco Tequila; .75 lime juice; .75 Agave Nectar. Shake and strain into rocks glass over fresh ice. Top with 2 oz watermelon juice.

The prep time took about 10 minutes to juice the limes and blend up the watermelon. It's less than five minutes to put together each cocktail. 

​ENJOY!
