Frozen Watermelon Margarita

The margarita’s origins are a subject of some debate, but there are several popular theories. Once traces the margarita back to Mexico in the 1930s or 1940s. One legend suggests it was created by a Mexican bartender named Carlos “Danny” Herrera who crafted the drink for a patron who was allergic to most spirits, but not tequila!

Regardless of the margaritas precise origins, it has become a staple in bars and cocktail menus worldwide. Since summer is here, I have crafted four margarita variations for you try. The Frozen Watermelon variation is below, and you can find the others here: Hibiscus, Ube Coconut, and Cucumber Mint.
