Caffeine Free Paleo Watermelon Margarita
Summer sipping doesn't get more refreshing than a blended watermelon margarita made with nothing but real, whole ingredients. Fresh watermelon gets blended smooth and strained into a bright, naturally sweet juice that forms the backbone of this drink — no artificial mixers, no syrups loaded with additives, and absolutely nothing that will keep you up at night. A splash of 100% agave blanco tequila, a squeeze of fresh lime, and just a touch of honey bring everything into balance, while a salted rim adds that satisfying savory contrast with every sip. The whole process is surprisingly simple: blend, strain, shake, and pour. Because the sweetness comes entirely from the fruit and a small drizzle of honey, this is a cocktail that feels indulgent without relying on anything processed or refined. It's the kind of drink you'll want to make on repeat all season long, whether you're hosting a backyard crowd or just treating yourself on a warm afternoon.

Add the watermelon cubes to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 20–30 seconds. Pour the watermelon purée through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup or bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible; discard the solids. You should have about 1 cup of strained watermelon juice.
