There is nothing I love more than a good margarita recipe.

And this Basil Watermelon margarita recipe takes the CAKE!

Today I am taking a break from the usual twin focused content to share something that I love, just in time for National Margarita day!

I’m usually a basic, flavorless, on the rocks kinda girl when it comes to my margaritas.

But ever since I tried a Watermelon margarita at a local restaurant, I have had the biggest craving for MORE.

So I took to my kitchen with the help of my husband to perfect the best watermelon margarita recipe and ya’ll, I think I’ve done it.

Best of all? This drink is naturally sweet and pretty simple to make.

All you need is:

• Watermelon
• Basil
• Lime
• Tequila
• Salt

That’s it!

Super simple ingredients for a crazy yummy drink.

Here is how to make my basil margarita recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of a personal watermelon
• Handful fresh basil
• Juice of two whole limes
• Tequila*
• Ice

*We’ll measure out the tequila for each drink

How to make:

Start by scoping out half of a watermelon into a large blender.

Then add handful of fresh basil and the juice of two limes

Blend for a solid two minutes, allowing for the watermelon to turn into a frothy juice and the basil to shred into very tiny pieces.

Fill a shaker with ice, then add about one cup of the watermelon mixture and 1-2 shots of tequila (I’m not going to tell you how to live your life here).

Double strain before pouring over ice in a sugar rimmed glass.

Top with a few lime slices and a slice of watermelon.

& of course, enjoy!
