Watermelon Margaritas

Watermelon is the most summery food I can think of. It’s fresh, it’s fruity, and it’s so fun. Nothing cools you down on a hot summer day like a watermelon…except maybe a margarita! So by combining the two into a Watermelon Margarita, you know we’ve got the best and most refreshing cocktail for summer.

Margaritas are my favorite cocktail, so any chance I get to make a new flavor, you know I’m on it. More margaritas for everyone, please! These watermelon cocktails are perfect for summer days, BBQs, Cinco de Mayo, and all the warm-weather holidays you can think of.

Sipping this pink drink by the pool or on the patio is sure to make your summers even better. Drink up, stay cool, and enjoy the last days of the season with the best margaritas!

COCKTAILS MADE WITH BOLS LIQUEURS

Making these Watermelon Margaritas special and amazing is all because of BOLS Watermelon Liqueur! BOLS is the oldest liqueur brand IN THE WORLD and dates back to the 1500s. It’s a brand you can totally trust (it’s also the most awarded brand in the world!) and I love using it for fun and delicious cocktails.

Using BOLS Watermelon Liqueur in this recipe makes it the perfect fun and fruity margarita with none of the fuss. It’s easy, quick, economical, and perfect! It’s sure to be the hit of any party. The watermelon flavor is so bright and delicious, it’d be tasty mixed with everything from champagne (watermelon mimosas!) to simple club soda.

Be sure to check out our video for making these Watermelon Margaritas with BOLS as my other posts using their amazing Liqueurs; Blue Margaritas and Loaded Queso with Spicy Pineapple Margaritas.

How to Make Watermelon Margaritas

This easy margarita recipe is my new go-to for the summer season. I love how simple it is to make drinks like this, because I get to feel like I’ve made something absolutely amazing (and it does taste amazing), without putting in too much effort. I’ll still be able to impress anyone who tries this watermelon margarita recipe!

To make:

  1. Blend all ingredients (tequila, watermelon liqueur, lime juice, agave nectar, and watermelon) together in a high-powered blender.
  2. Rim glasses with lime juice and salt, then fill with ice.
  3. Strain the watermelon cocktail into the glasses.

And my favorite part: if you really want a fun cocktail, add a slice of watermelon to the glass for A+ presentation skills!

Oh I love Margaritas! My favorite is a regular spicy one. You put a scallion and one or two jalapeños cut in half in a bottle of tequila. Keep or throw away the seeds depending how hot you want it. Put the bottle of tequila in the freezer for a week. You can make margaritas or do shots! Have to get a good tequila tho. It’s so good and spicy. I like my Margaritas made wirh fresh lime juice an orange liqueur and tequila. Frozen our my fav!!!5 stars
