Serves: 4 (or 2 if you want a good buzz)
Total time: 15 minutes
In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 3 wide strips orange zest to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. Let syrup cool.
In a blender combine 12 ounces fresh watermelon cubes (about 2 cups) until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, into a pitcher. You should have about 1 cup of juice.
Stir in syrup, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes) and 3/4 cup white or silver tequila.
Fill salt-rimmed glass with ice, then pour margarita mixture over top.
Verdict: This is fan-freaking-tastic. It's like a slice of summer with a nice side of tequila. Obviously I made these last summer (since it's winter now and I'm pregnant) but I couldn't stop thinking about them, dug up the picture I had taken back when I made them last year, and decided to blog about it. Luckily this baby is coming in June, so I'll have to rest of the summer to partake in these gems.
