If you know me personally ,you would know that i have never been a morning person. I can stay up as late as i can, but waking up early in the morning is a task. But living in sunny California ,occasionally i feel the need to getup early and hit the farmers market. Weekends seem more productive and i get motivated to start the week healthy with all the fresh fruit and veggies. Made these margaritas with watermelon & some strawberries i picked at the local market.

Ingredients

• 1 cup watermelon cubes (frozen)
• 1 cup watermelon cubes fresh
• 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 4 tbsp simple syrup (more if u like it sweeter )
• 2 shots Tequila (more if you like stronger drinks)
• 1 cup ice
• Some sugar to rim the glasses
• lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

• Cut up watermelon into small cubes and freeze 1 cup to be used later
• To make simple syrup add one cup water to one cup granulated sugar in a sauce pan & heat it until its completely dissolved. Cool to room temperature and set aside.
• Take a flat plate with granulated sugar . Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass & invert it onto the plate so that the sugar coats the rim. Put them in the fridge for few mins so the glasses are chilled.
• In a blender or a vita mix add water melon cubes frozen and fresh , strawberries ,ice , lime juice , simple syrup ,tequila and blend until smooth. Pour this into the sugar rimmed glasses and garnish with lime wedges. Serve them immedeatly.
