"Refreshing summer drink from cooking.com. I wasn't able to find the Triple Citrus tequila, so just used the regular flavored."

Wonderful Fresh and Fruity! Be sure when preparing this drink that you allow ample freeze time for your watermelon. I put mine in the freezer for a couple hours, which was not enough time to make a slushy frozen drink. However, served on the rocks still makes for a great margarita! ;) Great flavor made with great tasting watermelon! Thanks for another great recipe, Lazyme!
