Recipe Notes:
- Frozen watermelon cubes make the margaritas extra cold and slightly slushy without watering them down.
- Watermelon naturally creates a slightly thick texture when blended. If you prefer a smoother cocktail, blend the watermelon first, then strain it through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag until you have about 4 cups of juice before mixing with the remaining ingredients.
- Add 1 to 2 slices of fresh jalapeño to the blender for a spicy watermelon margarita.
- Taste before adding agave syrup, very ripe watermelon may provide all the sweetness you need.
- Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the best flavor.
