Watermelon – Pineapple – Mint Margaritas

May 19, 2014 by Noelle Leave a Comment


There have only been a handful of days this spring where it has been pleasant to be sitting on our porch. Our family enjoys grilling and eating outdoors so we’re hoping to get more days before it starts getting really hot outside.

When it comes to grilling, it is usually my husband’s job to make sure the main portion of the meal is prepared. I work with sides or if I plan it correctly, even the sides require grilling then all I have to do is the bare minimum. How about that?

Of course, this only means my part has to be delicious and enticing. During our second year of marriage I started working on creating unique margarita recipes. The recipes would include ingredients that were seasonally available and then given a little twist.



Watermelon is definitely available everywhere right now but how to pick one is usually the hardest challenge. Luckily at Watermelon.org helps anyone with tips on picking the best watermelon for individual consumption or for any recipe. 

I had so many ideas for recipes but when it came to it, I decided to make my Watermelon Margaritas with some fresh mint and pineapple juice. Tropical margaritas are usually not thought to contain watermelon and even at that I thought it would be a little overpowering. My recipe has an even balance with all ingredients, including the tequila, to make this a perfect summer drink.
