Melon Margaritas

A melon twist on the classic margarita! Melon Margaritas are delicious, only 3 ingredients, and are the most beautiful bright green color. Top it with fresh honeydew melon!

If you love melon cocktails, try Cantaloupe Coconut Margaritas and Watermelon Mint Margaritas!

I know it’s the middle of February but I am dreaming of summer and cocktails by the pool so we’re talking margaritas.

These Melon Margaritas may be the prettiest margarita I’ve ever made. They are bright green and I searched far and wide (3 stores) for a honeydew so I could make cute little melon balls to go on top.

(If you live near an HEB, they have bags of frozen melon balls that are perfect for cocktails! Like Melon Ball Sangria!)

These margaritas are nice and light and refreshing. I’m not a melon person but I really love these.

And did I mention they’re only 3 ingredients?! And no sugary margarita mix required!

Ingredients

• Limes – you need a wedge to rim the glasses and the fresh juice for the drink
• Coarse salt
• Tequila – I suggest a silver tequila so that the green stays nice and bright
• Melon liqueur – you can find this at any liquor and it’s super cheap. It’s what gives the drink it’s bright green color!
• Honeydew melon balls – use a melon baller to scoop out the honeydew

How To Make Melon Margaritas

• Prepare the glasses. Run a lime wedge on 2 glasses and dip in coarse salt. Fill with ice.
• Make drink. In a shaker, combine tequila, melon liqueur, and lime juice. Add ice and shake virorously.
• Pour. Pour drinks over ice and top with honeydew melon balls.

Tips and Tricks

• If you like a sweeter margarita, a tiny dash of simple syrup in the shake will sweeten it up

• Serving these to a crowd? Double or triple the recipe and keep it in pitcher. Give it a stir and then pour individual drinks into the shaker
