Summer is here, and it’s time to enjoy some refreshing drinks that will quench your thirst. If you’re a fan of spicy and sweet flavors, then you’ll definitely love this recipe for a Spicy Watermelon Margarita. This drink is perfect for any occasion – whether you’re hosting a party or just relaxing on the porch after work.
To make this delicious cocktail, you’ll need some fresh watermelon chunks, lime juice, tequila, agave nectar, jalapeño pepper slices (optional), salt, and ice cubes. Start by blending the watermelon chunks in a blender until they are smooth. Then add in the lime juice and blend again.
Next up is the fun part – adding in the tequila! You can use any type of tequila that you prefer – white or gold. Add in as much or as little as you want depending on how strong you like your margaritas.
Now it’s time to add some sweetness to balance out all those flavors with agave nectar. Agave nectar is a natural sweetener that has become increasingly popular because of its low glycemic index compared to sugar. Add 1-2 tablespoons of agave nectar per serving depending on your preference.
For those who prefer their cocktails with an extra kick, now is when we add jalapeño slices into our mixture before blending everything together once more until well-blended and combined.
Before pouring into glasses rim them with salt by running lime around their edge followed by dipping them upside down into kosher salt until coated evenly.
Finally pour your Spicy Watermelon Margarita over ice cubes & garnish with a slice of fresh watermelon & jalapeno if desired!
This cocktail not only tastes great but also has several health benefits associated with it; watermelons are packed full of vitamins A and C which help boost immunity while reducing inflammation throughout the body during these hot summer months. Additionally, jalapeño peppers contain capsaicin which has been linked to improved heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
If you’re looking for a fun, refreshing drink that will satisfy your sweet tooth while also adding a little spice to your life, this Spicy Watermelon Margarita is the perfect choice. Plus it’s easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste preferences! Give it a try today!
