Refreshing summer alcoholic drink, Watermelon Cucumber Margarita that is simple to make in minutes! Alcohol can be skipped and have just juice as an afternoon refreshment too.
I am not a very big fan of alcohol and I try to avoid it as much as possible, and the main reason for not liking it is the taste of the alcohol, especially tequila, I just find it too strong. And I add lots of simple syrup to my drinks to not get the taste of alcohol. But, in this recipe, I did not add any sweeteners as the natural sweetness from the watermelon is sufficient.
Taste your watermelon before use to check the sweetness of it, if the watermelon is not sweet enough, add 1 oz or more of simple syrup or maple syrup to the recipe.
