Watermelon Margarita Recipe - Watermelon, Amaretto and the Basics!


	Watermelon Margarita Recipe Watermelon, Amaretto and the Basics! This watermelon margarita recipe came about on a whim. I'd been cooking desserts all day and wanted a drink. I was being kind of selfish with my recent watermelon purchase. It was so sweet and flavorful. I thought what the heck - let me modify my Italian Margarita Recipe and see what I get! Needless to say, I will be making many more of these. The only modification from a normal margarita is the addition of amaretto. Amaretto is an Italian liqueur that has a flavor that most people describe as "sweet almonds". If you want to leave it out - that's cool. You will just be drinking a normal watermelon margarita. Personally, I think the amaretto heightens the flavor of the watermelon. But you are the bartender or bartenderess - you choose! And if NONE of these Italian drinks are what you were looking for, scroll below and see the full list of drinks and check out my homepage of Italian dessert recipes. Thanks for stopping by! Lisa Watermelon Margarita Recipe YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 1 oz amaretto * 2 1/2 oz fresh squeezed watermelon juice * 4 ozs sweet and sour mix * 2 ozs triple sec * 2 ozs tequila Procedure * Squeeze watermelon. Make sure and strain it! * Mix and shake * Drink and enjoy! What's the trick on squeezing the watermelon juice? None really. You can push it through sieve. Or squeeze it with your hands into a cup then strain. Use that little hand juicer then strain. Heck there are tons of ways. I've used paper towels, coffee filters. Just don't get all fancy and break out the juicer! I only use my juicer on BIG projects. And this isn't one of them! What is the recipe for sweet and sour? No big secret. It's approximately equal amounts of lemon and sugar and then a tad of water mixed in. Don't worry about ratios too much. You are looking to get a sweet and sour flavor from sugar and lemons. That's all there is to it! What about bottled sweet and sour mix? No! No! No! Don't do it! Only if there are NO lemons within hundreds of miles are you allowed to purchase the gross pre mixed artificial stuff. Back to the top of the watermelon margarita recipe.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
