Hazelnut Free Paleo Watermelon Margarita
Summer in a glass doesn't get much more refreshing than this blended watermelon margarita. Fresh watermelon cubes are blitzed until smooth, then strained to produce a clean, vibrant juice that forms the backbone of the whole drink — no artificial mixers, no mystery syrups. A splash of 100% agave blanco tequila keeps things clean and bright, while fresh lime juice and a touch of honey balance the natural sweetness of the fruit perfectly. The salted rim adds that classic savory contrast that makes every sip feel like a proper cocktail moment. Since every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass — no flavored liqueurs or processed additives to worry about. Shake it hard until the shaker frosts over, pour over fresh ice, and garnish with a lime wedge for a drink that looks as good as it tastes.

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.
