Watermelon Margarita's

In anticipation of a party on Friday wherein these will be made I am posting this! Let's hope they are as good as they sound!!!

INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons sugar
1 lime wedge
3 1/2 cups cubed seeded watermelon
1/2 cup tequila ~ I like Margaritaville Lime
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
Lime wedges (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Place 2 teaspoons sugar in a saucer. Rub rims of 6 glasses with 1 lime wedge; spin rim of each glass in sugar to coat. Set prepared glasses aside. Combine watermelon and next 4 ingredients (watermelon through triple sec) in a blender; process until smooth. Fill each prepared glass with 1/2 cup crushed ice. Add 1/2 cup margarita to each glass. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately.

You can freeze the diced watermelon for up to two weeks. Place diced watermelon on a cookie sheet in the freezer for six hours or overnight. Store frozen cubes in a zip-top freezer bag until ready to use.
