A quick and easy frozen watermelon margarita with a spicy Tajín rim that balances icy sweetness with a tangy chili-lime kick, perfect for summer refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) agave syrup
  • 3 cups (about 700 g) ice cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning for rimming the glass
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt (optional, mixed with Tajín for rim)
  • Lime wedges for rimming and garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the glasses: Mix Tajín seasoning and coarse salt on a small plate. Moisten the rim of each margarita glass with a lime wedge, then dip and twist the rims into the Tajín-salt mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Cube and chill watermelon: Cut watermelon into chunks, removing seeds if needed. Chill cubes in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or use already chilled watermelon.
  3. Juice the limes: Squeeze fresh lime juice using a citrus juicer and remove any seeds.
  4. Blend the margarita: In a high-speed blender, combine watermelon cubes, tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. Add more ice cubes if needed and pulse again.
  5. Taste and adjust: Add more agave syrup if sweeter flavor is desired or a splash more watermelon or sugar if too tart. Blend briefly again.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour the frozen margarita into prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or small watermelon slice on the rim.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy watermelon for best flavor. Chill watermelon and ice well for optimal slushiness. If blender struggles with ice, pulse ice first then add watermelon and liquids. Apply Tajín rim just before serving to keep it crunchy. For non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and add sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste.
