- 1 oz triple sec or Cointreau
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- Margarita salt or Tajín, for the rim (optional)

Notes
- Use ripe, seedless watermelon for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a frozen watermelon margarita, swap the ice cubes for frozen watermelon and blend until smooth and slushy.
- If your watermelon isn't very sweet, add a little agave or simple syrup to taste.
- For a smoother cocktail, strain the watermelon mixture through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
- For a salt rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it into margarita salt or Tajín.
