It’s the beginning of the weekend after a long week at work. That sounds like a good enough reason to make some margaritas. Not just your everyday margaritas, but watermelon is involved.
Can you believe I have never had a margarita before! I knew that it was time to change that, when I saw a recipe for this frozen watermelon margarita. I love watermelon in the summer time and we had a nice ripe one sitting in the refrigerator.
It turns out that watermelon is excellent in a margarita. I froze the watermelon overnight and used my blender to blend up the margarita, with the frozen watermelon I didn’t have to use ice. The frozen watermelon was enough to make this margarita nice and thick.
I have a feeling I will blending up some other drinks with frozen watermelon in the near future.

Welcome to the world of frozen Margaritas. There’s no doubt that they’re especially good with fresh fruits. Hope you keep experimenting, I find it so much fun.
Yummy! I love margaritas. I’ve found mostly, though, I just like the excuse to drink something sweet. This would be good even without tequila, I think!
I love a good margarita. I’ve never had a watermelon margarita but I KNOW I would love it!
