Easy Watermelon Margarita

• 11⁄2 c fresh watermelon chunks, seeded, frozen if you prefer a frozen drink

• 2 oz silver tequila

• 2 oz Cointreau, or any orange liqueur

• 2 oz lime juice

Optional: Salt the rim of your glasses for added interest. Place salt (and cayenne or Tajin if you wish) on a plate. Run a lime slice around the edges of the glasses, then turn them through the salt until it adheres.

Add the ingredients to a blender. Blend 10-20 seconds until smooth. Pour into prepared glasses, adding ice if desired. Garnish with a watermelon slice and a round of lime.
