Notes
Storage :
- To Store: I recommend making only what you will drink that day. If you have leftovers, you can store the watermelon margaritas in a pitcher in the fridge for a few hours to a day.
- Add a few jalapeño slices to your cocktail shaker to make this a spicy watermelon margarita.
- If your watermelon is fully ripe and sweet, you may not want to add a sweetener.
- I love using fresh watermelon for this recipe, but I have made it with the bottled watermelon juice when I want a quicker and easier way to prepare these. You can find watermelon juice near the orange juice in the refrigerated section. I like the simple brand of watermelon juice.
- To keep your margarita cool and refreshing, pour it over ice. You can also chill your cocktail glasses in the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes before serving.
- This recipe makes enough for 2 margaritas, but feel free to double or triple it for a crowd.
