Indulge in a refreshing and flavorful summer treat with our tantalizing Frozen Watermelon Margaritas. These margaritas are a delightful blend of sweet watermelon, tangy lime, and a hint of tequila, all frozen to perfection for a cool and invigorating experience. Whether you're looking for a fun and festive party drink or a refreshing way to beat the heat, these frozen margaritas are sure to hit the spot.
To make these margaritas, we'll start by pureeing fresh watermelon chunks until smooth. Then, we'll combine the watermelon puree with tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and a touch of salt for a balanced and flavorful margarita mix. Next, we'll freeze the margarita mixture in popsicle molds or an ice cream maker for a slushy and icy texture.
For an extra special touch, we'll rim the glasses with a mixture of chili powder and salt for a spicy and tangy kick. Garnish with a lime wedge and a watermelon slice for a vibrant and inviting presentation.
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, we've included a Virgin Watermelon Margarita recipe that captures all the flavors of the original without the tequila. Simply omit the tequila and replace it with additional watermelon juice or sparkling water for a refreshing and alcohol-free treat.
And for those who love a creamy and indulgent twist, our Frozen Watermelon Margarita with Coconut Cream recipe adds a velvety smooth coconut cream layer to the classic margarita. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy lime, and creamy coconut creates a tropical paradise in a glass.
With these three variations of Frozen Watermelon Margaritas, you'll have a refreshing and flavorful drink for every occasion. So gather your ingredients, grab your blender, and let's dive into the recipes to create these delicious and thirst-quenching margaritas!

Steps:
- Remove rind from watermelon and cut enough fruit into 1-inch pieces to measure 5 cups. Freeze watermelon in a sealable plastic bag at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.
- In a 5- to 6-cup blender blend frozen watermelon with remaining ingredients until thick and smooth.
Tips:
- Prep Your Watermelon: For the best flavor, use a ripe, juicy seedless watermelon. Cut it into chunks and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight for a slushy texture.
- Choose Your Tequila: Use a good quality blanco or reposado tequila for a smooth, delicious margarita. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, you can use a flavored tequila, such as a reposado infused with orange or lime.
- Fresh Lime Juice is Key: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled or store-bought lime juice can be bitter and will not give you the same results.
- Don't Overblend: When blending your margarita, be careful not to overblend it. You want a slushy texture, not a watery one. Blend until the ingredients are combined and slushy, but still have some texture.
- Salt the Rim: For a classic margarita experience, salt the rim of your glass before pouring in the margarita. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of the glass, then dip it in salt.
