# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • You get all that gorgeous margarita flavor without the morning after regret
  • Fresh watermelon creates this silky smooth texture that feels way more indulgent than it actually is
02 -
  • Straining might feel like an extra step but it transforms the texture from thick and pulpy to smooth and drinkable
  • Room temperature watermelon blends way better than cold, so let it sit out for fifteen minutes before you start
03 -
  • Taste your watermelon before you start blending, if its super sweet you might not need as much agave
  • If you accidentally make it too sweet, a little more lime juice will balance everything out perfectly
