Lupin Free Paleo Watermelon Margarita
Summer in a glass doesn't get much better than this — fresh watermelon blended smooth, spiked with 100% agave blanco tequila, and brightened with real lime juice and a touch of honey. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward, which means no hidden fillers, grain-based additives, or legume derivatives sneaking into your cocktail. The process is simple but satisfying: blend, strain, shake, and pour into a salt-rimmed rocks glass that looks like it came straight from a rooftop bar. Straining the watermelon purée through a fine-mesh sieve gives the drink a silky, juice-bar texture that's miles ahead of anything you'd pour from a bottle. The honey rounds out the tartness of the lime without overpowering the fruit, and the sea salt rim ties everything together with that classic sweet-savory contrast. It's the kind of drink you'll want to make on repeat all season long — festive enough for a crowd, easy enough for a Tuesday night on the patio.

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.
