Tasty Thursdays: Watermelon Magarita

How was your 4th of July? I spent mine with my boyfriend's family watching the fireworks from a VIP area at the Hudson River Park. I usually just spend this day at home with my family as we watch it on TV, but it was a nice change, especially since we live so close to where the Macy's fireworks are. There were definitely some beautiful displays.

Anyway -- I love watching The Chew whenever I'm home at the time -- they make such amazing meals & drinks. I was browsing through their website for the Pimm's Cup recipe, in honor of Wimbledon, but this Watermelon Margarita caught my eye -- looks so much more tastier! The following recipes serves 1.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces pueblo viejo blanco tequila (or any tequila)
• 2 ounces of watermelon puree
• 1 ounce lime juice
• 1 ounce simple syrup (if possible infuse with tajin)
• Watermelon spheres for garnish
