Puree 4 more cups cubed watermelon in a blender; strain into the pitcher. Stir in 1 cup lime juice (from about 9 limes) and 2 cups cold seltzer. Add the frozen watermelon and some lime slices.
WATERMELON MARGARITA
Mixing cocktails may seem intimidating, but it's actually quite intuitive once you understand how to balance the alcohol, sweetness and acidity. In "3-Ingredient Cocktails" (Ten Speed Press, 2017), Robert Simonson presents the formula for a perfect margarita: 1½ ounces tequila, 1 ounce Cointreau and 3/4 ounce lime juice, shaken and served. Even easier to memorize, this version uses 6 ounces fresh watermelon juice - a sweet but subtle nod to summer - and 2 ounces each tequila, Cointreau and lime juice. Be sure to taste and add more watermelon juice if your margarita is too boozy, and extra lime juice or even a pinch of salt if it's too sweet.

Steps:
- Prepare the salted rim, if using: In a small shallow bowl or plate, combine the sea salt and Tajín. Set aside.
- In a shaker filled with ice, combine the watermelon juice, tequila, Cointreau (if using), lime juice and jalapeño (if using). Shake to combine. (Note: The watermelon flavor shines brighter without the Cointreau, but the liqueur takes the drink into more traditional margarita territory. If you'd like to compare, first try the mixture without, the liqueur, then add 1 ounce of it per serving.)
- Using one of the squeezed lime halves, run it along the rim of two rocks glasses, then dip the rims into the salt mixture. Fill the glasses with ice, then strain the margaritas into the glasses and enjoy immediately.

Taking a sip of this refreshing drink feels like a dip in the pool on a steamy day. It's inspired by the fruity Mexican drink agua fresca and is made with chopped watermelon, mint syrup, fresh lime juice, and a handful of ice.

Steps:
- In a small heatproof bowl, pour 1/2 cup boiling water over sugar and mint; stir until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Strain syrup into a blender; discard mint.
- Add watermelon, lime juice, and 1 3/4 cups cold water; blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve over ice, garnished with a mint sprig, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. If using tequila, stir a shot (1-ounce) into each glass before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe watermelon and limes.
- If you don't have a blender, you can muddle the watermelon and lime wedges in a bowl before adding the tequila and Triple Sec.
- To make a virgin watermelon-lime margarita, omit the tequila and add an extra cup of club soda.
- For a sweeter margarita, add a tablespoon or two of agave nectar or simple syrup.
- Garnish the margaritas with lime wedges, watermelon slices, or a sprinkle of Tajín chili powder.
Conclusion:
These watermelon-lime margaritas are the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. They're refreshing, delicious, and easy to make. Whether you're hosting a party or just enjoying a quiet evening at home, these margaritas are sure to be a hit.
