Watermelon Margaritas

By Chez_Alexander

Because of the sweetness of the watermelon this margarita doesn't need much sugar, so one glass has only 105 calories. A little bit of fresh lime juice brightens the drink and adds a welcome tanginess. For a special touch, rim your glasses with sugar and garnish with lime wedges and watermelon balls.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 lime wedge
• 3 1/2 cups cubed seeded watermelon
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
