Watermelon Margarita Cocktail Recipe

Today was a hot one in the Northeast. This afternoon during the peak heat, I cooled off with watermelon margaritas. Fresh watermelon embodies the taste of summer with it's cool, clean taste. In a margarita, the watermelon flavor is not overpowered provided a high end tequila is selected and fresh lime juice is used.

This recipe uses: Lime Tree Cove Fresh Lemon Cocktail Sugar
