Why is this the best watermelon margarita recipe out there? Because we don't just stop at the drink, we elevate the entire experience with our signature Grill Your Ass Off seasonings. Whether you rim your glass with our Chili Lime Beer Salt for a zesty, tart punch, or our Crispy's Mango Habanero for an unexpected sweet heat, our products take this cocktail from ordinary to craft-bar quality. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for pool parties, taco nights, and long summer weekends.
Want to kick it up a notch? Add a splash of hot sauce at the end to transform it into a spicy "Mexican Candy" shooter!
Ingredients
-
3 oz Tequila (1.5 oz per drink)
-
3 oz Fresh Lime Juice (1.5 oz per drink)
-
2 oz Agave Syrup (1 oz per drink)
-
1 cup Fresh Watermelon (cut into chunks)
-
Ice (for shaking)
-
Chili Lime Beer Salt (for rimming)
-
Crispy’s Mango Habanero (for rimming)
-
Optional: A splash of your favorite hot sauce, or add some jalapeño
Directions
Rub a lime wedge along the rim of two margarita glasses. Dip one rim into the Grill Your Ass Off Chili Lime Beer Salt (for a tart finish) and the other into the Grill Your Ass Off Mango Habanero Crispies (for a sweet-heat finish). Or, mix them together if you're feeling wild!
In a cocktail shaker, pour in the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Pro-tip: Agave is much better for margaritas than regular simple syrup—it blends perfectly and balances the lime juice without overpowering it.
Drop your fresh watermelon chunks directly into the shaker. No need to pre-blend; the fresh fruit brings a pure, vibrant flavor you just can't get from artificial syrups.
Add a generous scoop of ice to the shaker, seal it tight, and shake vigorously! You want to shake it hard enough to completely puree the watermelon chunks and chill the liquids.
Strain the freshly shaken margarita into your beautifully rimmed glasses.
The "Mexican Candy" Upgrade (Optional): Want a spicy twist? Add a quick dash of Fire Chief Hot Sauce or put in some jalapeños for a "Mexican Candy" vibe. Cheers!
