Now, I know that there are tons of "recipes" on the web for watermelon margaritas. Yeah, but those call for muddlers, or strainers, or simple syrup, or even basil. I looked at them, but that was getting to close to cooking. So I kept it simple. I put the watermelon in the blender, added white whiskey (even better than tequila in my book), and orange liquor.
It didn't taste perfect yet though, so I threw in some lime juice and ice. Then, it was heaven. Frothy, pink, vitamin C packed heaven.
Even Ryan liked it. Oh, but he put his is a dark glass while he was outside mowing the lawn. He has a rep to maintain.
Oh, and don't worry. This isn't all we had for dinner. I threw together some of the simplest sesame noodles ever known to man. They definitely weren't this pretty though.
Summer feels good so far.

OK, if Greg OR I ever need a couch to crash on because he is a slacker and isn't blogging and I've had enough of it and head east, I so have dibs on your couch IF YOU MAKE THOSE!
Now it's possible that I am the biggest margarita fan on EARTH, so I'm drooling right now, even though I hate melon as a rule. But I make my own fresh strawberry or raspberry ones every year and even just the regular lime from a mix if I'm feeling lazy. I LOVE MARGARITAS!
Great way to kick off the summer! Wish I had such confidence in the kitchen.
YES PLEASE to the watermelon margharita! :D

Welcome to summer, it's been here in TN for two months now.
Looks good, so Ryan didn't ask for a little umbrella and a cherry on the top then? :D
Summer is so great. And those cocktails looked deeelish and refreshing! Well done. You got skillz, girl.
I freeze the watermelon. That way you don't have to use ice. Try it... you'll love it! And in case you didn't know...watermelon contains an ingredient that prevents hangovers...so bottoms up!
I use a sesame noodle recipe I got off Pioneer Woman-- it's basically the same but she uses garlic and some rice wine vinegar, also some Sriracha hot sauce.
That is perhaps the most benign comment I have ever made on here.
My kind of cooking :0)
I'm a good cook too, a dab hand at beans on toast. Yep!
I'm intrigued by this white whiskey of which you speak. I'm so confused. As a rule, I stay away from brown liquor but what is this new concoction? This is more traumatic than when they introduced clear pepsi.
I am the only human being on earth who doesn't like watermelon but that does look lovely and refreshing. Here comes summer! My version will have strawberries.
Can I come to your house to eat? I hate to cook. I can cook, and Im pretty good at it...... I just hate it. Except at Thanksgiving.
