Watermelon CBD Margaritas
Nothing says sweet summertime like watermelon. This mouth-watering cocktail also happens to have some bonus good-for-you qualities: watermelon is 92% water, so it’s incredibly hydrating, and the lime, mint, and CBD provide anti-inflammatory effects.
Without further ado, let’s gather your list of ingredients!
Watermelon CBD Margarita
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh watermelon
Few sprigs of fresh mint
¼ jalapeño, deseeded
1-2 shots silver tequila
1 teaspoon simple syrup
Juice from 1 lime
CBD (we used Equilibira daily drops)
Sparkling water or soda water
Ice
Directions:
Add the watermelon cubes, mint, and de-seeded jalapeno to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour contents into a shaker over ice.
Add freshly squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, tequila, and CBD to the shaker. Shake, shake, shake.
Strain the liquid (removing the texture from the melon, mint, and jalapeno) into a glass filled with ice.
Top with sparkling water, garnish with a few lice slices + a sprig of mint.
Cheers, and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
Looking for a mocktail? Just skip the tequila and add a bit more sparkling water!
Trying to reduce your sugar intake? Taste the watermelon first - you may not need to add the simple syrup! Or you can replace it with a monk fruit simple syrup
Want to kick it up a notch? Add more jalapeño to your blender, or add a slice or two to the top of the drink and it will infuse as you sip!
Like a little salt with your margarita? You can absolutely salt the rim? Just run a lime wedge along the rim, then dunk your glass in a shallow plate filled with salt (we like to use Himalayan Pink Sea Salt) before you fill your glass with ice.
