Happy Margarita Day!
What you will need for this Watermelon Margarita:
- 3 oz quality tequila blanco
- 2 oz St Germain
- 2 oz watermelon juice
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- chipotle salt for rim (see our chipotle salt post for recipe)
- basil leaf for garnish
Cut up some seedless watermelon. Liquefy in a blender until you have about 16 oz (for multiple cocktails). Add the watermelon juice and remaining ingredients over ice and shake in a cocktail shaker. Taste and add simple syrup if watermelon is not sweet enough. Serve in a bucket or margarita glass with a chipotle salted rim. Garnish with a slice of watermelon and basil leaf. Cheers!
