A quick and easy frozen watermelon margarita mocktail with a spicy Tajín float, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days without alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (about 450g / 1 lb)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (60ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (30ml / 1 fl oz)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 240g / 8.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda (120ml / 4 fl oz)
  • 1 tablespoon Tajín seasoning
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Watermelon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Measure about 3 cups (450g / 1 lb) of fresh watermelon chunks.
  2. Roll the limes on the counter to soften, then juice them until you have about 1/4 cup (60ml / 2 fl oz).
  3. In your blender, combine watermelon cubes, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and ice cubes. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of sparkling water to loosen.
  4. Taste your mixture. If it’s not sweet enough, add a bit more agave syrup. If it’s too thick or too thin, adjust with ice or sparkling water accordingly.
  5. Pour the blended mocktail into serving glasses, leaving about 1 inch (2.5cm) at the top.
  6. Gently sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Tajín on the surface of each glass to create a float layer.
  7. Add a lime wedge and a small watermelon slice on the rim of the glass for garnish.
  8. Serve immediately for best icy freshness.

Notes

Use ripe watermelon for best sweetness and flavor. Adjust sweetness with agave syrup or honey based on watermelon sweetness. The Tajín float adds a spicy-salty layer that should not be stirred immediately. Prepare watermelon and lime juice ahead but blend and add Tajín just before serving for best texture and flavor. Fresh watermelon preferred over frozen for brighter flavor.
