WATERMELON LIME MARGARITAS
All now outside has created Pine Tree State longing for summer. We’re regarding manner through our landscaping project here at the new house, and that I can’t wait till we will mud off the grill and eat our meals outdoors once more. Summer is tempting Pine Tree State, and that I set to require the matter into my very own hands by creating these Watermelon Lime Margaritas.
Fresh watermelons don’t last long at our house – my thusn will singlehandedly devour one all by himself – so I bought 2 the opposite day. The slices of sweet watermelon disappeared quickly, however I set some aside and gave it a whirl within the liquidiser with some contemporary juice to form these margaritas. Sipping on them brought summer simply a bit bit nearer. It'll be here before we all know it. I will simply style it.
