Description
Watermelon Margarita is an excellent choice if you are looking for a summer cocktail. Because that extraordinay drink is light, fruity, sweet and pleasant to the taste, it goes down especially well with women. An eye-catching colour from the watermelon, it's flavour, and a decent note of tequila characterises that beautiful cocktail for warm days. Unfortunately preparation with fresh watermelon takes a bit more time than for usual mixtures, because you need to do both, blending and shaking.
Tequila is refined with triple sec and lemon juice, and finally mixed with fresh watermelon mash, syrup or liqueur. An excellent choice in the afternoon or evening for nice get-togethers.

Preparation
Method: Blending, Shaking with ice cubes
Bar equipment: Blender, Shaker
1.
Sugar or salt rim
A crusta looks really great and complements Watermelon Margarita perfectly. With a sugar or salt rim it's best practise to start preparing the glasses before you actually begin mixing the drink.
2.
Watermelon decoration
We recommend a piece of watermelon for decoration. So, cut off a chunk of watermelon , make a vertical cut in the middle and place it on the glass rim.
3.
Preparation of the watermelon
Go ahead with the watermelon, remove the peel and cut it down.
4.
Blending
Place the watermelon chunks in a blender and mix it for about 20 seconds on maximum power (until it's well splashed).
5.
Shaking
Next, pour the watermelon mash into a cocktail shaker. Add all other ingredients along with 2-3 ice cubes and shake it hard.
6.
Serving
Finally, strain the mixture into the decorated glass with 3 ice cubes and serve it ice cold.

Our survey shows that there are some people out there preferring a salt rim and for most of those a sugar rim is not a problem. On the other hand, most of those favouring a sugar crusta don´t like Watermelon Margarita with a salt rim. Either way, try it out or play safe and serve it with a sugar rim.
It's an American habit to make the crusta only on one half of the rim. Like that you could prepare one half with sugar and the other with salt. Usually with this technique, you leave one half empty that it's possible to drink it without crusta.
In our opinion an entyre custa looks better, tastes better and sticks better to the glass. A straw can help for those with an aversion against crustas.
Tips
Fine adjustment
Decoration / Serving
Indeed wine glasses look great, but the edge is a bit too short for a long lasting sugar or salt rim.
Margarita, Martini or cocktail glasses are most appropiate for Watermelon Margarita. Present it with crusta and a piece of watermelon.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.
