With Cinco de Mayo approaching, I’ve been on a quest to come up with a new ultimate fruity beer margarita. While browsing images at work the other day for a project, I came across a photograph of a watermelon. End of story.

Today, I bring you the newest addition to the beer margarita family: Watermelon Beer Margaritas.

It all begins with puréeing watermelon chunks from a seedless watermelon and pouring it into a pitcher. Then adding tequila, limeade concentrate and beer.

That’s it. I do need to warn you that this margarita is a little strong, so beware. If it’s too strong for your taste, I suggest adding club soda or a lemon-lime soda (depending on your preference of sweetness) until it is the strength you like it. It’s also a little thicker because of the watermelon pulp, but the flavor is nothing short of awesome.

Garnish with a watermelon and lime wedge and you’re good to go.

Cheers!
