Need a new drink to freshen up your summer? Because it's #NationalTequilaDay, try this amazing Watermelon Margarita recipe that will be sure to make your summer BBQs a huge hit!

(makes 10-12 drinks)

Variations:

• If you’re feeling spicy, try with a chile rim instead of salt!
• If you rather have frosty, frozen margs you can chop up your watermelon and freeze it before putting in the blender!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of blanco tequila
• 3/4 cups of TripleSec or Cointreau
• 1 cup lime juice
• 4 cups chopped seedless watermelon
• Agave Nectar or simple syrup
• Kosher Salt (for rim)
• 10 lime wedges

Directions:

1. Place Tequila, lime juice, Triple Sec and watermelon in the blender and blend!
2. Depending on your watermelon, there might be solids left. If this is the case you can strain the drink through a fine-mesh strainer to remove.
3. Prep the glasses: rub the rim of each glass with a lime wedge, then dip into a plate of the salt and spin it around. 
4. Fill glasses with ice, pour your drink and enjoy!
