When it comes to refreshing, it's hard to do better than watermelon juice so watermelon margaritas have become a staple - we prefer ours with a touch of pomegranate liqueur to bring a little tartness and a deep ruby color.
4ouncesfresh watermelon juice(blend and strain fresh watermelon)
3ounces100% agave silver tequila
11/2 ouncesPama pomegranate liqueur
1/4ouncefreshly squeezed lime juice
Ice
Watermelonformed into spheres with a measuring spoon, for garnish
Chili powderfor garnish
Sea saltfor garnish
Instructions
Make The Garnish: For the garnish, form the watermelon into spheres by using a melon baller (a round 1/2 teaspoon-size measuring spoon will work too) and scoop the watermelon to create two melon balls. Mix the chili powder and salt in a small bowl or a plate then dip half of the watermelon balls in the mix and skewer with a cocktail pick. Garnish each drink with a watermelon ball and serve.
Make The Cocktail: Combine watermelon juice, tequila, PAMA liqueur, lime juice in a cocktail shaker and add enough ice to fill halfway. Close and shake until the shaker is frosted, about 20 shakes. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish each drink with a watermelon ball and serve.
