Watermelon Cucumber Cilantro Margaritas

WATERMELON CUCUMBER CILANTRO MARGARITAS

You know it’s almost time for Spring when the margaritas start surfacing.

This post is no exception. Some fresh watermelon to add in the mix, and you’ve got some pretty tasty and fresh beverages to offer.

The stars of this margarita are cucumber, cilantro, watermelon and lime. You can even keep sipping these into the summer, because why not?

I’m actually not a huge fan of regular margaritas, like on the rocks, so this version is a blended frozen margarita. You can certainly opt out for the frozen, and just add the mixed drink over ice if you want.

There’s just something about a frozen margarita that hits the spot for me. Don’t forget to garnish with a cube of watermelon, or maybe a string of shaved cucumber. Whatever you wish for your margarita! I also am not a fan of salt rimmed drinks, but if that’s your jam, go for it. Just add lime juice to the rim and dip it in salt, or sugar really. I’m sure either would be fine.
