Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- Salt for rimming glasses
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cube 2 cups of fresh watermelon and hull 1 cup of strawberries. Make sure to remove any seeds from the watermelon for a smoother blend.
- In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, hulled strawberries, 1/2 cup of tequila, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of agave syrup. This will create a sweet and tangy base for your margarita.
- Add the sliced jalapeño to the blender. Depending on your spice preference, you can adjust the amount of jalapeño. For a milder flavor, use just a few slices, or for more heat, add more slices.
- Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for a shorter time. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or spice as desired by adding more agave syrup or jalapeño slices.
- While the margarita mixture is blending, prepare your serving glasses. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of each glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
- Once the margarita mixture is blended to your liking, pour it into the prepared glasses. You can serve it over ice or straight up, depending on your preference.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of watermelon or a strawberry on the rim for a festive touch. You can also add a jalapeño slice for an extra kick of spice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Strawberry Spicy Margarita with friends and family!
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh fruits for the most vibrant flavor. Look for watermelons that sound hollow when tapped and strawberries with a deep red color.
- For controlling spice levels, remove the jalapeño seeds for a milder heat or keep them in for an extra fiery experience.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more authentic taste.
- Chill your glasses beforehand for a more refreshing drink experience.
- For a smoother texture, strain the mixture if you prefer less pulp.
- Experiment with different salt rim options like Tajín or smoked salt for added complexity.
- If you want a frozen version, simply add ice to the blender and adjust the liquid quantities accordingly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila with sparkling water or additional fruit juice.
