Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen watermelon margarita slushie with a tangy, spicy Tajin rim, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days and impressing guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 1 cup tequila blanco
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • Tajin seasoning (for rimming glasses)
  • Coarse salt (for mixing with Tajin for rim, optional)
  • Lime wedges (for rimming and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glasses by mixing Tajin seasoning and coarse salt on a small plate.
  2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then dip into the Tajin-salt mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Cut fresh watermelon into cubes, remove seeds, and measure 4 cups. Chill if possible.
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine watermelon cubes, tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, simple syrup, and ice cubes.
  5. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and slushy.
  6. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of cold water or more lime juice. If too thin, add more ice cubes and pulse again.
  7. Pour the slushie into the prepared glasses.
  8. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or a small watermelon skewer.
  9. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For best flavor, serve immediately as the slushie melts quickly. Freeze watermelon cubes beforehand for a thicker texture and reduce ice needed. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Use quality blanco tequila for best results. Rim glasses carefully with lime juice and Tajin-salt mixture to avoid clumps. Non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting tequila and triple sec with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda and adjusting lime juice and simple syrup accordingly.
