As most of you know, I love margaritas, and this new concoction is one of my favorites during the hot summer months. Watermelon is such a satisfying treat when the summer sun is blazing. Add in a bit of tequila, and your thirst is soon to be quenched!

 

Yield 1 serving

 

2 oz. Patrón Silver

2 oz. Watermelon Juice

1 oz. fresh lime juice

2 tsp agave

2 basil leaves

Ice

Watermelon slice and basil leaves for garnish

 

For the watermelon juice, add two to three watermelon slices with the rind removed to a blender and blend until smooth.

 

In a shaker with ice, add all the ingredients and shake well. Pour the margarita into an ice-filled glass and garnish it with a thin watermelon slice and some basil. 

 

Cheers, and enjoy!
