Ingredients

  • *to make the mint syrup*
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves
  • *for the margaritas*
  • 2 cups diced watermelon frozen
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 oz lime juice about 3 limes
  • 4 oz tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 3 oz mint syrup see above - or substitute regular simple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar + 2-3 mint leaves for rim

Instructions

  • First, make the mint syrup if desired. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan, and add in the fresh mint leaves. Turn heat onto medium-high, and heat mixture until sugar dissolved, whisking often.
  • Let syrup boil for 3-5 minutes, then turn heat off and remove pan from heat. Let syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate until needed.
  • To make the margaritas, combine the frozen watermelon with the ice, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and the mint syrup you made. Blend until smooth.
  • To make the mint sugar, rub together the white sugar and mint until the mint is broken down into small flecks and has infused the sugar. When ready to serve, rub a slice of lime along the rim of your glasses, and dip them into the mint sugar.
  • Divide frozen margaritas among your two cups, and enjoy! You can garnish with additional mint and fresh watermelon.
