Watermelon Peach Margaritas

Oh BOY, do I have an awesome cocktail for you guys today. Who doesn’t want watermelon peach margaritas???

I obviously just couldn’t let the summer go by without a margarita recipe, RIGHT?

In fact, there’s been a surprising lack of boozy recipes here lately… weird. So unlike me 😉

This guy makes up for it.

There are fantastical watermelon margaritas at a small local Mexican food chain, Dos Coyotes. LOVE them. They’re somehow the perfect combo of that candy-like watermelon flavor but not at all candy-sweet. Finally, a friend of mine got the answer: watermelon syrup plus sweet and sour mix! In a margarita… so cool and so unusual.

So I’m bringing the same things to a blended PEACH margarita. Except I figured since I’m blending super sweet watermelon syrup into a drink, I’d stick with a homemade alternative to sweet and sour mix: just a whooooole lot of lime and lemon juice. More than you’d normally use in a marg.
