Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of 4 glasses, then dip each rim into a plate of 2 tbsp coarse salt to coat. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a blender, combine 4 cups watermelon chunks, 1/2 cup lime juice, 3/4 cup tequila, 1/4 cup orange liqueur, and 2 cups ice.

  3. Step 3

    Blend on high until smooth and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. The mixture should be thick but pourable; add more ice if too thin.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust: add more lime juice for tartness or a touch of simple syrup if the watermelon isn't sweet enough.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the margarita into the prepared glasses, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.
