This drink SCREAMS summer to me! So far, I have only enjoyed one of these fruity and fabulous cocktails on my back porch (which was lovely, by the way!)… but I know I’ll have one on the beach this summer as well. 🙂 Maybe at an outdoor concert too? I can’t wait!
This sweet and refreshing cocktail (Sandia y Tequila Fresca) was adapted from El Chino Latino Cocina. Great!
Bringing it to Fiesta Friday #73, co-hosted by the amazing bloggers Juju @ Cooking With Aunt Juju and Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake. Cheers!! 🙂
Yield: Makes 1 drink
- 1 cup watermelon
- 1 oz tequila
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- 2 T agave nectar
- ice cubes, for serving
- Cut the rind off the watermelon and remove the seeds. Cut enough chunks to measure 1 cup and put in a blender. (I used a Vitamix.)
- Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.
- Pour over ice in a margarita or other cocktail glass. Serve cold and enjoy!

The drink does scream summer, it sounds absolutely delicious.
SO good! Thanks, Suzanne. 🙂
What a great summer drink – not sure why I never think to use watermelon! Perfect beverage for all the party goers at Fiesta Friday – thanks for bringing this refreshing drink to the party 🙂
I have made watermelon sangria too- sweet and yummy!! Yay for summer cocktails!! 🙂
watermelon treats’ color is always stunning! impossible not to want one now 🙂
Thank you so much. I agree! 🙂
You just reminded that I made watermelon margaritas before, and they were fabulous. I need to play with watermelon some more! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is probably very similar- but a little lighter on the alcohol? I am a huge margarita fan- watermelon margaritas sound wonderful!
Love tequila! never thought of pairing it up with watermelons! i know what i’m going to be trying this weekend 😉 Lovely drink!
Yay! It was really refreshing- hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
So making this Josette! I have cut melon, cantaloupe in refrigerator and tequila is begging to be used… 😉
It may be the perfect drink for the last day of school! 😉 (this Friday, for me…) Enjoy, Sonal!
Mine started begining of June.
But during summer break, I can end my day with this every day 😉
I love any cocktail that has tequila! And with the watermelon, this is so perfect for summer!
I could go for a large glass right now, even though it’s dark out!
