Ingredients

  • Watermelon cubes, (if desired)

  • Kosher salt

  • 10 - 11 lime wedges

  • 3 cup Triple Sec or other orange liqueur

  • 2 - 3 cup tequila

  • 1 ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 1 cup superfine sugar or powdered sugar

  • 5 cup seedless watermelon, chopped

Directions

  1. If desired, freeze cubes of watermelon on a waxed paper-lined tray for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.

  2. Place salt on a small plate. Rub rims of eight glasses with one of the lime wedges. Dip rims of glasses in salt to coat; set aside.

  3. In a pitcher combine Triple Sec, tequila, lime juice, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

  4. Pour 1/4 cup of tequila mixture into blender or food processor with chopped watermelon (working in batches if necessary). Cover and blend or process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Combine watermelon juice with remaining tequila mixture. Stir. Chill until ready to serve.

  5. Place frozen watermelon cubes, if using, in salt-rimmed glasses. Pour tequila mixture over watermelon cubes. Garnish with remaining lime wedges.
