Sweet and Spiced Ginger Watermelon Margarita Recipe

September 1, 2017 by Greta Brinkley Leave a Comment

There are some really fantastic flavor combinations that most people don’t consider. One of these is sweet and zesty.  Not necessarily spicy like hot, but something that gives a little undercurrent of a different flavor.  Ginger is fantastic for this. That’s where the inspiration for this amazing Ginger Watermelon Margarita recipe comes from. The complexity of the ginger and the watermelon play wonderfully together, and it gives a little sumtin-sumtin.

There are a few things that will help when you make these Ginger Watermelon Margaritas. You’ll want some coarse pink Himalayan salt for the rim. Crush it to a smaller, yet still chunky texture for a real treat. A microplane zester is something every kitchen or well stocked bar should have.  If you don’t have one, add it to your tools. A fab blender will make your margaritas so much better, and quicker to make.
