Watermelon to me always says “summer”. Being the cheapskate that I am, I sprung for the buy one, get one watermelon deal. Suppressing the urge to only eat it as fruit like a sucker, I turned them into the easiest margaritas ever. The mint helps add a bit of brightness to it. If you don’t have triple sec, a touch of other citrus helps. Salt of course, is optional.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups watermelon (chopped)
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 2 oz triple sec
• A few pinches of dried mint

Method:

1. Throw everything into a blender.
2. Taste and adjust booze and mint amount to your liking.
3. Yields 6 margaritas
