A very tasty watermelon margarita recipe

Ingredients

* 1 teaspoon lime zest
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 3 tablespoons coarse salt
* 1 lime wedge
* 1 cup watermelon puree (*see Cook's Note)
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* 1/2 cup premium 100 percent agave tequila
* 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or triple sec)
* 1 cup ice

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the lime zest, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat. Cool to room temperature and strain out the zest. (Can be made in advance; keep in a covered container in the refrigerator.)

Chill a margarita glass in the freezer for 30 minutes. Place the coarse salt in a shallow dish or saucer. Wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip the glass into the salt, coating the top edge.

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 tablespoons of the cooled lime syrup with the watermelon puree, lime juice, tequila, orange-flavored liqueur, and ice. Shake until frothy and well chilled, at least 1 minute. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge.

*Cook's Note: To make the watermelon puree, remove seeds from fresh watermelon and cut into large chunks. Place in a blender and process until smooth and well pureed.

this one is much less time intensive:

ngredients

* 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.
