Notes
Expert Tips
- Ripe Watermelon: To pick a ripe watermelon, look for one with a creamy, yellowish spot. The darker and more yellow the spot, the longer the melon was allowed to ripen on the vine, making it sweeter.
- Additional Ingredients: You can add triple sec or a little bit of orange juice if desired, but I think the fresh watermelon flavor is great on its own.
- Tequila: You can use your favorite tequila. Blanco tequila is most popularly used in margaritas, though you can use reposado or anejo if that’s what you like!
