Frozen Watermelon Margarita
I don’t do bland drinks, and this one’s no exception. With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you’ll have a bold, balanced margarita that tastes like it came from your favorite bar—but faster and way easier. No store-bought mix, no weird aftertaste—just fresh watermelon, lime, and tequila blended into the ultimate summer drink.

Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon Seeds removed.
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup sugar or sweetener Adjust to taste. If you like sweet drinks you may need more.
- ¼ cup lime juice I used fresh limes.
- ½-1 cup tequila Adjust to suit your taste and how strong you like your cocktails.
- 2-4 cups ice
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients (including 2-4 cups of ice) to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add additional ice to thicken the margarita if necessary.
- Taste the mixture repeatedly and make adjustments to suit your taste. If you like it sweet, add more sweetener. More sour, add more lime juice. More liquor, add more tequila.
- Serve in glasses.
Notes
The more liquid you add, the thinner your margarita will be. If you have time you can also freeze the watermelon ahead of time. This will create thick margaritas. I’ve never seen frozen watermelon in stores, and I almost always forget to freeze it and I end up using fresh.
When using fresh fruit for frozen drinks, be sure to use plenty of ice. Add plenty of ice to the blender to help thicken the margarita. As a general rule of thumb, use about 1 cup of ice for every 1 cup of liquid ingredients.
The great thing about making your own cocktails is you control how it tastes. If you like sweet drinks add sugar or sweetener to suit what you want. If you like strong drinks use more liquor. You can tailor this drink to suit your needs with no need to rely solely on the recipe.
