How to Make Watermelon Cucumber Margaritas

  1. Combine 4 cups cubed watermelon, 1 cup cubed cucumber, and 10-12 mint leaves in a medium bowl.
  2. Gently muddle the watermelon, cucumber, and mint until slightly mashed. Don't over-muddle!
  3. Add 4 ounces tequila (or rum for a mojito), 2 ounces fresh lime juice, 1.5 ounces simple syrup, and 1 ounce Cointreau (optional). Stir well to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup ice to the bowl and stir until well chilled.
  5. Divide the remaining 1 cup ice between two tall glasses.
  6. Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses.
  7. Garnish with watermelon skewers and fresh mint sprigs.
  8. **(Simple Syrup Instructions):** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using.
