summer sipper



dustin & i had a few of our fabulous friends over this weekend to celebrate the end of summer. 
(can you believe it's almost over?!!?) 
i thought i'd share the recipe for this lovely watermelon concoction: 

watermelon margaritas

2 tsp sugar
1 lime wedge
3 1/2 cubs cubed watermelon
1/2 c tequila
2 tb sugar
3 tb fresh lime juice
1 tb triple sec 
lime wedges & watermelon balls (optional)

1. place 2 tsp sugar in a saucer. rub the rims of 6 glasses with 1 lime wedge; spin rim of each glass in sugar to coat. set prepared glasses aside. 
2. combine watermelon & next 4 ingredients in blender; process until smooth. fill each prepared glass with 1/2 c crushed ice. add 1/2 c margarita to each glass. garnish with lime wedges or melon balls. 

serves 6.
