Watermelon Rosé Margarita

Original Recipe By Jamie Evans, The Herb Somm

Notes

When creating the watermelon juice for this recipe, keep in mind that half of a small seedless watermelon yields about 14 ounces of juice once the pulp has been removed. Be sure to save the extra juice for a second round!

Watermelon Rosé Margarita Recipe

Ingredients

  1. Watermelon Juice
    ⁣1/2 small seedless watermelon ⁣

    ⁣Salt Rim
    ⁣Lime wedge ⁣
    1 tablespoon salt

    ⁣Watermelon Rosé Margarita
    100 millilitres watermelon juice, pulp removed ⁣
    30 millilitres rosé wine of your choice
    45 millilitres ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice ⁣
    30 millilitres tequila blanco ⁣
    15 millilitres Aperol
    15 millilitres organic light agave (optional)
    ⁣Cubed Ice ⁣
    Garnish with two watermelon balls and a miniature pink rose

Directions

  1. Cut the watermelon in half, then scoop out 6-8 balls using a melon baller. Place into a bowl or Tupperware, add a squeeze of lime juice on top, then place into the freezer to chill as you prepare the watermelon juice.
  2. Add the remaining watermelon flesh into the bottom of a blender or food processor. Purée for 1 minute or until the watermelon chunks turn into juice. Using a fine-mesh strainer, separate the pulp from the juice over a 16-ounce mason jar (save the extra juice for a second round!). Discard the pulp and then set the mason jar aside.
  3. Rim a glass of your choice with a lime wedge and then dip the top of the glass into the salt to create a salted rim. Set aside.
  4. Add all ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice, then shake for 15 seconds or until very cold. Strain into the salted glass filled with fresh cubed ice.
  5. Remove the watermelon balls from the freezer. Using a cocktail pick, add a watermelon ball on either side of a miniature pink rose, then set on top of the drink to garnish. Enjoy!
