Nice Melons…

Again, it seems that we’re getting into the habit of our posting misleading titles but hopefully you’re used to it by now…

Whilst we are on the topic of summer being in the air, we thought we’d post a delicious, healthy and refreshing cocktail recipe (can be made into a mocktail too) perfect for sipping whilst laying out in the sun, doing chores, or even after work with friends. Below is a recipe for ‘Watermelon Margaritas’ which we think this is the ulitmate summer time cocktail!

Ingredients:

5 cups watermelon, cubed, seeds and rind removed (about 1 3- to 4-pound melon)
1 cup silver Tequila
1/2 cup Cointreau or Triple Sec
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
Watermelon slices (optional), for garnish

Preparation:

Place cut watermelon in airtight container and put into freezer overnight or for roughly 10 – 12 hours. The next day, put the frozen watermelon and remaining ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into margarita glasses and garnish with a wedge of watermelon if you like. Makes 6 servings, so put on the salsa music and invite your friends over!
