Watermelon Margaritas

By SUE SPITLER RECIPE BY COOKING LIGHT From My Recipes

Yield
6 servings

Because of the sweetness of the watermelon this margarita doesn’t need much sugar, so one glass has only 105 calories. A little bit of fresh lime juice brightens the drink and adds a welcome tanginess. For a special touch, rim your glasses with sugar and garnish with lime wedges and watermelon balls.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sugar 1 lime wedge 3 1/2 cups cubed seeded watermelon 1/2 cup tequila 2 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon Triple Sec (orange-flavored liqueur) Lime wedges or watermelon balls (optional)

How to Make It

Step 1
Place 2 teaspoons sugar in a saucer. Rub the rims of 6 glasses with 1 lime wedge; spin rim of each glass in sugar to coat. Set prepared glasses aside.

Step 2
Combine watermelon and next 4 ingredients (through Triple Sec) in a blender; process until smooth. Fill each prepared glass with 1/2 cup crushed ice. Add 1/2 cup margarita to each glass. Garnish with lime wedges or melon balls, if desired.
