Prep Time
Total Time
Author: Talia
Yield: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 ounces fresh watermelon juice (see Notes)
- 1 ounce fresh orange juice
- 1 ounce blanco tequila (I prefer Milagro Silver)
- juice from half a lime
- fresh mint or lime, orange or watermelon slices, to garnish
Instructions
- Add watermelon, orange and lime juices to a blender along with the tequila, and pulse until smooth.
- Let the mixture rest for a minute or two, until the foam has disappeared.
- Pour into a glass filled with ice, and garnish with fresh mint or orange, lime and/or watermelon slices.
Notes / Variations
Make fresh watermelon juice by tossing cubed watermelon in a blender for 15-30 seconds. If you prefer, you can strain the watermelon juice to remove any stray seeds or pulp.
If you don't have an orange to juice, you can use OJ from a carton or substitute with orange liqueur instead.
If you prefer your cocktails boozier, add an extra ounce of tequila.
TO MAKE FROZEN: add 3 or 4 ice cubes to the blender with the remaining ingredients, and pulse until smooth. Pour into glass, and serve immediately.
