You know what screams "vacation"?
A frozen watermelon margarita with a spicy-sweet Island Sunrise salt rim that turns your glass into a tropical paradise. This juicy, boozy blender party is the fastest way to teleport to a beach chair — no passport required.
Rim that glass like a pro Pour some Island Sunrise seasoning onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into the seasoning for that sweet-spicy-tangy rim. Set aside (and admire your handiwork).
Juice it like you mean it Cut and squeeze all 6 limes into a bowl or directly into your blender if you like to live dangerously. No pulp, no problem.
Load the blender Add the fresh lime juice, tequila blanco, tequila reposado, triple sec, agave, and watermelon chunks into the blender.
Bring the chill Add a generous handful (or three) of ice. Blend until smooth, frosty, and irresistible.
Pour & party Carefully pour into your Island Sunrise-rimmed glasses and serve immediately with a slice of lime or wedge of watermelon for extra flair.
Sip, sigh, and smile Sit back and let the spicy pineapple-habanero rim work its magic with that fresh watermelon and tequila combo. Ooooh yeah.
If you needed an excuse to blend tequila with watermelon and call it self-care, this is it. The Island Sunrise rim adds a tangy kick that’ll make you question why you ever rimmed a glass with plain salt. Whether you're poolside, lakeside, or just hiding from your inbox — this cocktail brings the vacation to you.
Pro Tip
No reposado? No problem. Just use 3 oz of blanco. But the reposado adds a lovely depth.
Make it a mocktail by skipping the booze and adding orange juice or sparkling water instead.
Batch it for a crowd by doubling (or tripling!) everything and using a punch bowl.
Don’t skip the rim. The Island Sunrise blend is the secret sauce of this drink. Sweet, spicy, salty — it’s the summer trifecta.
