Watermelon Lime Margarita

Bill and I found this recipe in Organic Gardening Magazine. It is one of the best margarita's we've ever tasted! It's a perfect drink for a hot summer day and if your looking for a real thirst-quencher just omit the tequila.

Ingredients:

• 8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup sugar, or more to taste
• lime slices, for garnish (optional)or mint sprigs
• 8oz Premium white tequila 

Preparation:


Place half of the watermelon cubes in a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl; discard the solids. Repeat with the remaining watermelon cubes.

Add the lime juice and sugar to the watermelon juice, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Taste, add more sugar if necessary. Transfer juice to a nonreactive pitcher and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Then add 8 ounces premium white tequila. 

Serve over ice with lime slices and/or mint sprigs for garnish if desired.
