Watermelon Margarita

It is the perfect time of year to make a cool refreshing drink to enjoy on the patio!  Margaritas are classic, and I like to put a twist on them and include fresh watermelon in the mix for a delicious variation!  These are easy to make with a blender, and you can be relaxing with one in no time!
