Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing frozen watermelon margarita featuring fresh watermelon, tequila, lime juice, and a spicy Tajin rim for a perfect summer cocktail.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) silver tequila
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups (960ml) ice cubes
  • Tajin seasoning (for rimming glasses)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (optional, mixed with Tajin for rim)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tajin rim: Mix 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning with 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt on a shallow plate. Moisten the rim of each glass with a lime wedge, then dip and twist the rim in the seasoning mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Juice the limes to yield about 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh lime juice.
  3. Cube the seedless watermelon into roughly 1-inch pieces and measure 4 cups (600g).
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine watermelon cubes, 1 cup (240ml) silver tequila, 1/4 cup (60ml) triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and 4 cups (960ml) ice cubes. Optionally add 6-8 fresh mint leaves for a herbal twist.
  5. Pulse to break down the ice and watermelon, then blend on high for about 45 seconds until smooth, slushy, and icy.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup or lime juice as needed. If too thick, add a little cold water or more ice and blend briefly again.
  7. Pour the frozen margarita into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a small wedge of watermelon or a lime wheel if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while icy and cold.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy watermelon for best flavor. Pulse ice and watermelon first before blending fully to avoid watering down. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. Mix Tajin with coarse sea salt for a balanced rim that sticks well. Blend in batches for large quantities. Serve immediately for best texture.
