Watermelon (Crawl) Margarita

Celebrate 30 years of “Watermelon Crawl” with a summery cocktail.

If you happen to find yourself in Georgia in late July on a day hot enough to make the devil sigh – which, to be honest, is how hot it feels just about everywhere these days – maybe make the most of it and whip up a batch of these frozen cocktail delights. With only five ingredients, you’ll soon be as cool as Tracy Byrd’s wardrobe circa 1994.

We can guarantee that you’re gonna have a ball learning how to make our Watermelon (Crawl) Margarita.

Watermelon (Crawl) Margarita
(serves 4)

• 4 cups frozen cubed watermelon

• 1/2 cup tequila blanco

• 1/4 cup triple sec

• 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

• 1 1/2 tbsp honey or agave

• 1 heaping cup of ice

• Tajín for rim

• lime for garnish

Add watermelon, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, honey or agave, and ice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Rim the glass with Tajín and pour in frozen mixture. Serve with lime.

Optional: muddle some jalapeño with tequila prior to blending to give your margaritas a lil extra kick!

And, if you drink this, don’t drive. Do the watermelon crawl.
