![]() ![]() Juicing a watermelon just takes a blender. Plus I love the fiber and nutrients that are taken out of the equation when juiced. Mainly because they make such a mess and are a pain to clean. Making watermelon juice is not as complicated as it sounds! No juicer is required. We enjoyed them in the backyard while the kids played in the water, and a summer-time music playlist filled the air. I first made these over Memorial Day weekend, with the temperatures bordering 100 degrees. With a few ounces of reposado tequila and a little dash of maple syrup, it made the perfect refreshing drink for a hot Saturday. I pureed the watermelon and made some fresh juice, and added a little lime instead of lemon. I took a cue from that lemonade for this margarita. My garden was booming back then, so I grabbed a handful of fresh mint from the bush and mixed it in to elevate the flavors. I juiced watermelon and cucumber and mixed it with homemade honey-sweetened lemonade. My kids have been inhaling watermelon lately, and I was reminded of an old Watermelon Lemonade I published here on the blog back in 2012. I also don't eat corn or white potatoes, so that means most vodka is out too. My body responds best to tequila and wine, so I stick to those two. ![]() I stay away from any alcohol that is made with wheat or grains – most beer, whiskey, Scotch, and gin. Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant, so it is naturally grain and gluten-free. Margaritas in any form will always be my drink of choice, and this Watermelon Margarita has quickly become a weekend favorite for Ryan and me. You know I love a good tequila-based cocktail. ![]()
