Watermelon and Lime Frozen Margarita Recipe

Last Update: September 27, 2022

Cinco de Mayo is heating up! This festive drink starts with fresh watermelon that’s blended with tequila and lime juice. Finish off this frothy sip with a coconut nectar simple syrup infused with jalapeños (it’ll kick your party up a notch). And here’s a tip: The watermelon cubes need to be frozen, so stick ‘em in the freezer the night before.
