How to Make a Watermelon Margarita

A watermelon margarita is a delicious cocktail. It is a perfect drink for summer parties. This recipe makes one margarita.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 oz. Grenadine
• 4 oz. Sweet & Sour
• 1/2 oz. Monin Watermelon Syrup
• 1 oz. tequila
• 1 oz. Watermelon Smirnoff
• martini shaker & glass

1. Put all of the ingredients (Grenadine, Sweet & Sour mix, Monin Watermelon Syrup, tequila, and Watermelon Smirnoff) in the martini shaker with a few pieces of ice.

2. Shake until well blended and cold.

3. If you are making these for a party, you may want to make a pitcher of margaritas instead of making them one by one. To do so, just multiply the ingredients by as many as you wish and use a blender instead of the shaker.

4. Optional step:
   
   Before pouring the margarita, rim the outside of the glass with watermelon flavored sugar for extra sweetness. You can also use a small slice of watermelon on the edge of the glass (where the lime usually goes) as another cute decorative touch.

5. Once you have decorated the glass, if you choose to do so, the only thing left to do is to pour the drinks and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Fruity cocktails are always fun, but please remember that while this drink is sweet, it is also packed with alcohol. Please drink responsibly and always use a designated driver!
