How to make a watermelon margarita mocktail
To make this watermelon margarita mocktail, you’ll start by preparing the fresh watermelon juice. To do this, first, place the cubed watermelon in a blender or food processor and blend until it liquifies.
Strain the pureed watermelon through a fine mesh strainer to separate the juice from any remaining chunks of melon, then pour the juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
The next step for this refreshing Cinco de Mayo mocktail is to add 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and the agave nectar to the shaker and cover with its lid. Shake until the ingredients are well mixed and well chilled.
Now it’s time to prepare your margarita mocktails glasses for presentation. Place additional lime juice on a small saucer or plate (or generously wet the rims of your glasses with a wedge of lime). On a separate small plate, combine the coarse salt and Tajin seasoning.
Dip the rim of a rocks glass in the lime juice, followed by the seasoning mixture to coat the rim.
Next, let’s serve the mocktail with watermelon! Pour ice into the prepared glass(es), then pour the watermelon mixture from the shaker over the ice in the glass.
Garnish your watermelon margarita mocktail with a small wedge of watermelon and a ring of lime.
I just love the simple, lovely presentation of this virgin watermelon margarita; don’t you?
The salt and Tajin rim balances with the sweetness of the watermelon juice so well.
