Frozen Watermelon Margaritas
Adapted from Bobby Flay
Serves 8
5 cups cubed watermelon, seeds removed
1/2 cup simple syrup (equal amounts sugar and water, heated until sugar melts), cooled
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups silver tequila
4 ounces orange liqueur
2 ounces melon liqueur (optional)
Watermelon wedges or lime wedges, for garnish
Note: I used a little more Cointreau because I didn't have melon liqueur. It tasted great and could still really taste the watermelon. You may need to adjust to your own taste.
Place watermelon in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the pureed watermelon into 2 empty ice cube trays (I used a silicon muffin pan) and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Place 8 martini glasses in the freezer to chill.
Most blenders will be too small to accommodate all the ingredients so place half of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into 4 glasses and repeat with the other half of ingredients. Garnish each glass with a watermelon or lime wedge.
