Recipe: Watermelon Margaritas

Bought a small watermelon yesterday and now to try this recipe:

WATERMELON MARGARITAS

2 cups watermelon, diced seeded & frozen
3/4 cup tequila
1/3 cup triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 cups crushed ice
granulated sugar, for rimming glasses (optional)
lime slices, for garnish (optional)
orange slices, for garnish (optional)

Place frozen watermelon, tequila, triple sec, sugar, and lime juice in a blender; process until smooth. Add ice; process until smooth.

Serve in glasses rimmed with sugar, and garnish with lime and orange slices, if desired.

Description: Frozen watermelon cubes blended with tequila, triple sec, sugar, lime juice and crushed ice. Served in sugar rimmed glasses with lime and orange slices for garnish"

NOTES : For a make-ahead tip, you can freeze the diced watermelon up to two weeks before the party. Place diced watermelon on a cookie sheet in the freezer for six hours or overnight. Store frozen cubes in a zip-top freezer bag until ready to use.
