Rosemary infused watermelon margarita is literally relaxation in a glass. This cocktail has a bright fruity taste that screams summer.
Ingredients
  • 3 fresh medium sprigs of rosemary
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 16 ounces seeded pureed watermelon
  • 6 ounces tequila
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 3 ounces triple sec
Garnish
  • 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 4 small wedges of slice watermelon
  • Crushed ice
Instructions
Simple Syrup
  1. Use a tea infuser to steep the rosemary into the syrup or enclose the rosemary in a small square piece of cheesecloth. Tie a string around the top of the cheesecloth holding the sprigs of rosemary in place. This will keep the cheesecloth closed while steeping in the syrup.
  2. In a small saucepan place the water, sugar, and rosemary in the pan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the syrup to steep for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. Discard the rosemary.
Garnish
  1. On a plate combine turbinado sugar, chopped rosemary, and grated lime peel together. Rim 4 glasses with turbinado sugar mixture.
Cocktail
  1. In a blender combine pureed watermelon, tequila, infused simple syrup, lime juice, and triple sec. Blend until fully mixed.
  2. Pour into the sugar-rimmed glasses over crushed ice, garnish with a single wedge of watermelon.
