Sparkling Watermelon Margaritas

[Raquel]

Enjoy the taste of summer with a light and refreshing margarita recipe.​

Watermelon is a household staple in the summer. I find myself buying at least one a week. I enjoy it mixed in fruit salad, off the rind and in cocktails of course. I made this Sparkling Watermelon Margarita the other day and it was delicious.

My drink involves a handful of simple ingredients; fresh watermelon and lime juice, tequila and strawberry sparkling water. I love Spindrift’s Strawberry Sparkling Water or bubly Strawberry Sparkling Water. Spindrift is my favorite because it doesn’t have any natural flavors – just sparkling water and strawberries. I really enjoy this margarita because it isn’t too sweet. Lately I haven’t been craving sugar loaded cocktails so this is perfect. If you want a little more sweetness, add another ounce of watermelon juice.

Serve this up over ice and with a nicely salted rim. Watermelon and salt are a perfect summer pairing. I usually opt for a mix of sugar and salt with some of my margarita rims, but I’m all about the salt with this cocktail.

This drink is light, flavorful and delicious. I make mine with a shaker, but you could up the ante and create these drinks by the batch. Strain your watermelon and lime juice for a pulp free margarita.

Cheers! I hope you enjoy this tasty recipe all summer long! You also might like my Frozen Watermelon Kumquat Margaritas or Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade Cocktails.
