watermelon margaritas sounds great

[marlasmom]

For a make-ahead tip, you can freeze the diced watermelon up to two weeks before the party. Place diced watermelon on a cookie sheet in the freezer for six hours or overnight. Store frozen cubes in a zip-top freezer bag until ready to use.

2 cups diced seeded watermelon, frozen
3/4 cup tequila
1/3 cup triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 cups crushed ice
Granulated sugar (optional)
Lime slices (optional)
Orange slices (optional)


Place frozen watermelon, tequila, triple sec, sugar, and lime juice in a blender; process until smooth. Add ice; process until smooth. Serve in glasses rimmed with sugar, and garnish with lime and orange slices, if desired.
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 cup).

That sounds good! I've never had a watermelon margarita -- a watermelon martini I've tried, but this would be a new one. I will have to give it a whirl.

I've had watermellon margaritas at restaurants, but I didn't know you could make your own. Thanks for sharing.

Here's another nice end of summer party recipe.

This one is not for the kiddies though. And remember, don't drink and drive.
