Instructions

In a blender, purée the watermelon until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp if desired.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 1/2 cups of watermelon juice, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake well.
Rim glasses with salt or sugar, if using, by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping in a shallow plate of salt or sugar.
Fill glasses with ice and pour the margarita mixture over the top.
Garnish with lime wedges and watermelon slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice until slushy.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup depending on your taste and the ripeness of the watermelon.
Use silver tequila for a clean, crisp flavor or reposado for added depth.
