The recipe for our salted Sutter Home Rosé Watermelon Margarita creates a cocktail that looks as delicious as it tastes.
When we say you drink with your eyes first, this is exactly what we mean.
Salted Watermelon Margarita and/or Popsicles
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups cubed watermelon
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 oz. Sutter Home Rosé
- 1 oz. orange liquor
- 1 oz. tequila
- 1/2 cup lime juice, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 4 kiwi, peeled and chopped
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
INSTRUCTIONS
- Blend the watermelon and sugar in a blender, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher.
- Add Sutter Home Rosé, tequila, orange liquor, and 1/2 cup lime juice + lime zest, stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture among 6 popsicle molds or Dixie cups and freeze one hour.
- Rinse the blender, then blending the kiwi, cucumbers, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon tequila until smooth.
- Pour the kiwi over the watermelon layer, filling the molds to the top.
- Insert popsicles sticks and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
- Serve with lime wedges and salt *(double the above for a margarita, without freezing, serving over ice with a salted rim and popsicles).
