3 cups of frozen, chopped watermelon
1/2 cup of silver tequila
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
Kosher salt, to rim the glasses
Watermelon wedges, optional for garnish
Cut up the flesh of a watermelon into rough chunks. Spray a jelly roll pan lightly with non-stick spray and spread the watermelon chunks in a single layer on the pan. Freeze for several hours or overnight. Remove 3 cups of chunks and reserve remaining watermelon in a freezer bag until needed.
In the pitcher of your blender, add the tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice, watermelon and sugar in that order. Pulse the blender to begin to break down the frozen watermelon, then whip until blended.
Invert the margarita glass into a shallow bowl of water just to wet the rim, then into a plate of kosher salt to salt the rim. Pour the margarita mixture into the glasses, taking care not to disturb the salt rim. Cut small wedges of watermelon for garnish, cutting a slit into the side to perch the wedge on the rim of the glass.
