Strawberry Watermelon Margarita
This strawberry watermelon margarita recipe adds a unique twist on the classic margarita and is the perfect cocktail for summer! Sweet and juicy watermelon and strawberries make this margarita super refreshing while the spicy and savory kick from the black pepper + black salt rim lends to that perfect salty sweet combination.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (see notes for a chili lime version instead)
- ½ teaspoon kala namak/Indian black salt (see notes)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (plus an extra wedge of lime for the rim)
- 1 cup watermelon cubes
- ½ cup strawberries
- ¼ cup tequila
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- ½ cup ice
- 1 cup sparkling water
Instructions
- Run a wedge of lime around the rim of each glass.Freshly crack black pepper onto a plate. Now sprinkle the kala namak over the black pepper and mix it well to combine. Add half of this spice mix into a blender jar.Invert each glass onto the plate (with the other half of the pepper + kala namak mix) so the rim gets coated well.(See notes below to use chili lime seasoning instead of black pepper + kala namak)
- Now into the blender add in the watermelon, strawberries, agave, lime juice and tequila and blend for about 20 seconds or until you have a smooth puree.
- Divide this puree into the rimmed glasses and top with ice. Now pour sparkling water in each glass and garnish with fruits & mint before serving.
Notes
- If you don't drink alcohol, just leave out the tequila to make a refreshing strawberry watermelon mocktail instead! I tried this recipe both with and without the alcohol and both versions tasted amazing.
- If you don't have kala namak, replace it with regular salt instead.
- To make a chili lime flavored cocktail instead of black pepper + kala namak
- Reduce the fresh lime juice to 2 tablespoons.
- Replace black pepper + kala namak with equal amounts of chili lime seasoning. First use it to rim the glasses and then add the remaining seasoning into the blender with the fruit.
