Notes

Tips and Tricks

For the best flavor, use fresh watermelon juice. Store-bought juice is fine, but ensure it's 100% juice without added sugar.
Silver tequila pairs best with watermelon for its clean, crisp taste.
Add simple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer a sweeter margarita.
Chill your margarita glasses in the freezer before serving for an extra refreshing drink.
