Best Watermelon Margaritas (3 Ingredients!)

I’m so mad, that I just discovered this now, after summer is over! We had a ton of leftover watermelon, and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I thought “there HAS to be a way to make it into a cocktail!” (sorry, that’s just how my mind works :P ) Found this on my internet search, and I’m sooo glad I did! I did add some triple sec, but other than that, followed the recipe. It was delicious!! This will definitely be going into the summer rotation!

I made this in a big jug. ~8 cups of watermelon juice (strained using metal mesh sieve). 3 limes juiced. 6 shots of reposado tequila and 2 shots of grand mariner. My guests loved it and finished the jug.

Yum! Definite do over!

Delicious!!

Had some very ripe watermelon chunks that have been in my fridge a few days and decided get creative and try these margs out. OH MY STARS did they turn out yummy! I did add a half jigger of triple sec for a more traditional margaritas flavor, but the refreshing sweetness from the watermelon was just perfect! Definitely adding these to the pool drink roundup 🍹

These are so refreshing. The PERFECT summer drink! But – I used gold tequila and like it better than the silver.

These are literally the best and most refreshing margaritas I’ve ever had. They are not overly sweet and SO refreshing. Like thirst quenching. The only problem is that these are EXTREMELY drinkable and I basically chugged mine within 2 minutes. I plan on making these for every gathering – will try to make a big batch with everything mixed so people can shake themselves and pour.

Absolutely delish and refreshing. I had a small lime that I peeled and tossed into the ninja along w/ watermelon, tequila and ice. This is going to be my ‘go to’ drink for summer. And not sure where the ‘bland’ comments are coming from.

Great cocktail and easy to make too. I don’t like cocktails that are too sweet and this is great mixture or sour and natural sweet watermelon flavor and tequila flavor. I used Jose Coqervo silver because that is what I had on hand and it turned out great.

I’ve made this recipe twice and each time was great. The second time, I used mezcal tequila instead and found the smokiness was a really nice addition to the subtle sweetness of the watermelon.

WOW!!!! I didn’t measure, just threw in what I figured would make 1.25 cups of watermelon juice/pulp. Then I squeezed in half a juicy lime, added 1.5 oz Tequila and 1 oz Patron Citronge. Shook it over ice, strained and enjoyed. This is by far the best way I’ve experienced tequila and I won’t be making margaritas other way as long as watermelons are in season! Holy moly it’s that good!!! Where have these been all my life??? Thank you!!!

Loved it! We used 2 1/2 cups frozen watermelon instead of juice to make frozen ‘ritas. Added a bit more lime juice & 1 T honey. Thanks for posting the recipe!?

It’s a great, super simple recipe, but I also found it a little on the bland side. In all fairness, I think it depends on the specific watermelon you are using. Some have more flavor and are sweeter than others. So I blame the watermelon rather than the recipe for the blandness. Next time I’m going to try the adding the mint and maybe a splash of triple sec as suggested. I’ll definitely be making this again!

Best water melon margarita Ever!???

I appreciated the no-added-sugar element. But this was a little bland. Maybe some mint — or Triple Sec to add to the complexity.

So simple, and delicious on a hot day! I made mine a blended marg with ice.

You are so right about this recipe, the sweetness of the watermellon is just enough. With couple of squeezes of lime and tequila, each flavor comes through and no sugary sweetness. This is very refreshing, and will be my new go to margarita. For the comment that thought it was bland, maybe try a couple leaves of mint… Thanks for the recipe!

This was bland and tasted more like lime than watermelon. I measured the ingredients and I actually put in less lime than what was called for. I couldn’t drink it.

My husband and I bought a watermelon that turned out to have way more melon than expected. This was the perfect way to make use of it! This recipe is simple, so easy to make, and delicious! I made it as is and wouldn’t change a thing.

Excellent. Easy. Delicious

So… really suddenly craved a watermelon margarita and found this recipe. When my bf and I stopped at the grocery store today on our way up to the lake cabin they had little watermelon halves so I got one, knowing exactly what to do with it. We have alot of booze on hand, but still whenever I seen to crave something specific, every recipe I’ll look up requires something we do NOT have. This was very simple. Only problem, no blender here. I muddled the cubes by hand which took a while and did not plan to strain it. Had not considered though that the shaker would do it for me! Cool. They’re good, but kinda bland… maybe cause I literally only had watermelon juice to work with?

Made it & love it! Refreshing, light, and so easy to make?

This is absolutely delicious. I made one and grabbed a little fresh mint from the garden through it all in a blender and mix it together. Super awesome!

This was so simple and delicious. Since I’m on vacation with too much watermelon, I’ll be making these again tomorrow. But I’m going to try adding some mint just for kicks. Thanks for another great recipe.

I made this recipe today, so light and refreshing, I added some margarita mix so its not pure alcohol and ice and tequila, and I did gold tequila (Luna zul) although silver would do well too. Fantastic recipe! I will share with my girlfriends! Great for leftover watermelon that is still tasty!

This is a great drink recipe! So easy and very tasty. Served with a salt rim and added a splash of triple sec. This will definitely be going into my summer cocktail rotation!
