Ingredients

  • 3 wide strips orange zest
  • 2 cups Creative Gourmet Frozen Watermelon Chunks
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 cup tequila

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and orange zest to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves, for approx. 3 minutes.
  2. Let syrup cool in a bowl. In a blender, puree Creative Gourmet Frozen Watermelon Chunks until smooth.
  3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids, into a jug (you should have about 1 cup juice). Stir in syrup, lime juice, and tequila.
  4. Fill salt-rimmed glasses with ice, then pour margarita mixture over top.
