Summer just started, but here in Texas its already HOT! Hot sticky summers make me think of swimming pools, watermelon, and frozen drinks. Here’s a recipe that combines two out of three:
Watermelon Margarita
4 TBsp Tequila
2 TBsp Vodka
1 TBsp Triple Sec
2 Cups Watermelon, seeds removed
2 limes
1/4 Cup Sugar
3 Cups Crushed Ice
Salt- for rimming
Rub the rims of two margarita glasses with a slice of lime each, and dip in salt. Squeeze juice from remaining limes, add all ingredients except ice in blender and process until smooth. Add ice slowly in thirds, blending after each new scoop. Pour frozen mixture into prepared glasses, garnish with twist of watermelon rind or slice of lime.
In honor of Hot Rods and Heels, we chose a hot and spicy number for our drink of the month, that when done right should remind you of your favorite childhood cinnamon candy. We thought it appropriate.
