Tastes like summer...


I was browsing Tastespotting when I came across this gorgeous photo of a Watermelon Margarita. Yes, you heard right. Fresh watermelon+alcohol=the ultimate summer refreshment. Heres the recipe courtesy of Food Network, pictures from Martha Stewart

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups seedless (or seeded) watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes, rind discarded before measuring
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces orange flavored liqueur
  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • Lime wheel or watermelon wedge, for garnish

Directions

Put cut watermelon in a plastic bag and place in freezer for a minimum of 2 hours. (If time does not permit this step, add a few extra ice cubes when blending, the difference is not that significant.)

Stuff all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Garnish rim of glass with a lime wheel or a watermelon wedge and serve immediately.
