Here is Southern California we still have ripe melons leftover from the summer’s bounty. Grab a seedless one and puree it up for a refreshing cocktail. These Margaritas are really, really delicious, they are gaining a following with my friends.

Makes 1 Pitcher

6 cups of fresh watermelon, chopped (about 4 1/2 c pureed)
5 limes juiced (about 3/4 c)
1 1/4 cup premium white tequila
1/2 cup triple sec
2 tablespoons agave syrup to taste

Optional:

2 teaspoons Maldon salt

Kosher salt for the rims

Puree the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the fresh lime juice, tequila, triple sec and a pinch of salt. Test for sweetness adding agave syrup if the watermelon juice is not sweet enough. Chill for at least one hour before serving. Mixture will separate so mix well before serving over ice in glasses with salted rims.
