Equipment
- Blender For blending the ingredients into a smooth, frozen margarita.
- 6 Mason Jars (16oz) To freeze and serve the margaritas in.
- Freezer Safe Container To freeze the watermelon cubes.

- Cutting Board and Knife For cutting the watermelon, cucumber, and garnishes.

Ingredients
- 6 cups of ½-inch cubes watermelon
- ½ cup sour mix
- 1 cup silver tequila
- ⅓ cup triple sec
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup diced cucumber
- Fresh mint leaves to taste
- 6 mason jars 16oz size
Instructions
- Freeze the Watermelon: Place the watermelon cubes into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 3 hours or until solid.
- Blend the Margarita: Once the watermelon is frozen, combine it with the mint leaves, diced cucumber, tequila, triple sec, and sour mix in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Fill the Mason Jars: Pour the margarita mixture into the 6 mason jars, but be careful not to fill above the 16oz line to avoid overflow when freezing.
- Freeze the Margaritas: Place the mason jars in the freezer for at least 3 hours (or longer if you can resist!). This ensures the margaritas freeze to the perfect slushy consistency. Feel free to sneak one while you're waiting!
- Serve and Enjoy: About 30 minutes before you plan to serve the margaritas, take them out of the freezer and let them rest to soften slightly. Give the jars a quick shake before opening. If desired, garnish with a watermelon slice or a reusable straw. Then, kick back, dip your toes in the water, and enjoy the refreshing bliss of your Watermelon Mint Margarita!
