Spice up your margarita with this refreshing salted watermelon margarita! It’s perfect for warmer months!

It’s Friday! You made it through another week. Why not celebrate with this delicious summery cocktail!?

I made this margarita last Friday for National Tequila Day. But I really don’t think you need to wait for a day like that to come around to enjoy some tequila!

I love this cocktail recipe because it feels a little bit naughty and a little bit healthy. The watermelon tastes incredibly refreshing, and then you get the bite of the tequila. I don’t like a margarita with salt on the rim of my glass, but I don’t mind a dash of salt in my drink. You can rim your glass with salt if you’d like, but I just added a small amount of sea salt to my cocktail. I also skipped the simple syrup because the watermelon adds enough sweetness (this also cuts some cals!).

I used the watermelon juice that I had made ahead of time (and used to make Watermelon Chia Juice). There are a few ways to make watermelon juice…

1. Throw watermelon chunks and a splash of coconut water in a blender. Blend and you’re ready.
2. Blend watermelon in a blender then strain out the pulp through a fine mesh sieve.
3. Use a juicer to juice your watermelon.

I went with the first option because I don’t mind having a little watermelon pulp.

After you have your watermelon juice you’re ready for cocktail time!

*Like my stemless wine glass? I don’t own margarita glasses for some reason! I definitely need to invest in margarita glasses for my future margarita drinking. These cute margarita glasses are definitely on my wish list!

Have a happy and healthy weekend!
