Watermelon Margaritas

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 lime wedge
• 3 1/2 cups cubed seeded watermelon
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)

Preparation

1. Place 2 teaspoons sugar in a saucer. Rub rims of 6 glasses with 1 lime wedge; spin rim of each glass in sugar to coat. Set prepared glasses aside.
2. Combine watermelon and next 4 ingredients (watermelon through triple sec) in a blender; process until smooth. Fill each prepared glass with 1/2 cup crushed ice. Add 1/2 cup margarita to each glass. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately.
