You’re going to make the most refreshing, naturally sweet watermelon juice and then you’re going to add tequila to it.

And, my friends, your life will be changed. Especially if you salt the rim.

Here is how to make a fresh watermelon margarita at home with watermelon juice and tequila.

Which Tequila Should You Use to Make a Margarita?

The first few times I made it I used 1800 silver tequila, then I found that Trader Joe’s had their own

blanco version, but this week I decided to splurge a little with Casamigos Tequila.

The tequila is important if you’re going to do shots, but to be honest you don’t need expensive alcohol to make

a mean margarita, or any cocktail.

If you’re thinking you don’t have the time or patience to make your own watermelon juice. You do. I promise.

Cut up a bunch of watermelon, throw it in a blender and voilá—you have watermelon juice.

My ninja does all the heavy work for me, and then I simply put it in a pitcher in my fridge and it’s good for a few days.
