Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen watermelon margarita slushie that blends the natural sweetness of watermelon with fresh lime and tequila for a perfect summer refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (450g) frozen watermelon chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) tequila blanco
  • 1/4 cup (60ml, about 2 limes) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) simple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) orange liqueur (optional)
  • Coarse salt for rimming glasses (optional)
  • 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes (optional for thicker texture)
  • Lime wedges and watermelon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each serving glass and dip the rims into coarse salt spread on a plate. Set aside.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice until you have about 1/4 cup (60ml). Remove any seeds.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup (120ml) tequila blanco, 2 tablespoons (30ml) simple syrup, and if using, 2 tablespoons (30ml) orange liqueur into a small bowl or measuring cup.
  4. Place 3 cups (450g) frozen watermelon chunks, the tequila mixture, and the fresh lime juice into your blender.
  5. Add 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes if you want a thicker, frostier slushie. Skip if you prefer a lighter texture.
  6. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is icy smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
  7. Check texture and taste; add a splash of water or more lime juice to loosen or more simple syrup to sweeten if needed. Blend briefly again.
  8. Pour into prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge and a small watermelon slice on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe, seedless watermelon for best flavor. Freeze watermelon chunks flat to avoid clumping. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste. For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and orange liqueur with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Avoid overusing ice to prevent dilution. Clean blender promptly to avoid sticky residue.
