I’m usually a classic Lime Margarita kinda girl. But with the warmer climes and abundance of watermelons, this may be my new summer favorite!
Recipe makes 4 delicious Margaritas.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3 wide strips orange zest
12 ounces watermelon cubes (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3/4 cup white or silver tequila
Lime wedges
Directions
To create salted or sugared glasses for these Watermelon Margaritas (either works really well), place two tablespoons of course salt or sugar on a saucer, rub the rim of each glass with lime and then dip them in the salt or sugar to coat.
In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and orange zest to a boil over high. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. Let syrup cool in a bowl. In a blender, puree watermelon cubes until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids, into a pitcher (you should have about 1 cup juice). Stir in syrup, lime juice, and tequila. Fill glasses with ice, then pour margarita mixture over top and enjoy!
Italia, simply put is spectacular.
With the awing inspiring ruins of Rome, fashion forward cities like Milan, picture-worthy Piazzas in every town, and the life inspiring vineyards of Tuscany, there is no shortage of amazement and beauty. And I didn’t even mention the Pizza! Perhaps the most inspiring and spectacular part of Italy, is the magnificent Amalfi Coast.
The Amalfi Coast is a 50-kilometer stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region.
The first stop for most on the Amalfi is NAPLES, which many write off as a dirty, tattered and unruly city. But look past the grit and grime and you’ll uncover one of Italy’s most artistic cities, full of breathtaking frescoes, sculptures, and palaces. And the food! Naples serves up some of Italy’s best food, especially pizza, which in and of itself makes it a must for your Italian itinerary.
