Cucumber watermelon margaritas made quite the splash at the 4th of July pool party hosted by Draper James ambassador Katie Jacobs. Find the recipe here.
Ingredients
- 8 cups seedless watermelon chunks, plus wedges for garnish
- 1/2 English cucumber, coarsely chopped
- 1 lime, zested, plus juice of 1/2 lime, plus wedges for rimming glasses
- 1/4 cup course kosher salt
- 1 ounce agave syrup or honey
- 3 ounces white tequila
- Mint sprigs for garnish
Directions
Liquefy the watermelon and cucumber in a blender and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. Refrigerate until ready to use. Mix the lime zest and salt on a small plate and reserve. When ready to serve: Mix 1/2 cup watermelon-cucumber juice with lime juice, agave, and tequila in a cocktail shaker filled with ice; shake well to chill. Rub the rim of a mason jar with a lime wedge and dip it into the lime zest mixture. Pour the margarita into the salt-rimmed mason jar and garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint sprig.
