Origins of Margaritas
There are several theories of where the margarita first originated and we’re not sure which one is true! But the most popular is that it was created in 1938 by Carlos ‘Danny’ Herrera at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. It’s thought that he created it for a customer who was allergic to all hard alcohol except tequila, but wanted something more than just a shot. Based on the popularity and spread of this delicious cocktail, we’d say the creation of the margarita was a major success! You can read about other theories on the origin here. Our inspired version varies from traditional with the addition of watermelon. Prepare for ultimate refreshment!
How to Make Watermelon Margaritas
This recipe is as easy as it gets! To make watermelon juice simply throw a bunch of watermelon in a blender and blend into juice! Straining is optional to remove any seeds/pulp, but it’s hardly worth the fuss. Add some lime to your watermelon and a shot (or two) of tequila and shake, shake, shake. Line a couple of glasses with lime and sea salt and you’re golden. SimpleQuickBoozyRefreshingNaturally sweetPerfectly tart& Seriously delicious These are the perfect margaritas for summertime.
