Preparation method

Ingredients overview

120 ml Tequila Blanco
60 ml orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau)
600 g watermelon (seedless)
Juice of 1 lime
1 handful ice cubes bag
1 pinch fine sea salt

Cut the watermelon into pieces and place it in a blender along with the lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and a handful of ice cubes. Blend everything until a smooth, frosty consistency is achieved.

For the salt rim, moisten the rim of the cocktail glasses with a lime wedge and then press it into a shallow plate with salt.

Carefully pour the Margarita into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a lime slice or a small piece of watermelon as desired and enjoy immediately, ice cold.

Chef's tip

For a particularly intense color and sweetness, use a very ripe, deep red watermelon. If you prefer it less sweet, you can reduce the orange liqueur slightly.
