Minty Watermelon Margarita Poptails

Minty Watermelon Margarita Poptails

QUARANTINE REFRESHER Minty Watermelon Margarita Poptails from The Defined Dish are a boozy version of summer on a stick.

From The Defined Dish

Ingredients: 

5 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (about ½ of a large watermelon)
¼ cup lime juice (juice of about 2 limes)
¼ cup agave nectar
5 large mint leaves
½ cup tequila
Dixie cups
3 limes
Popsicle sticks (preferably “craft spoons,” which can be found at Joann’s or Michael’s)

Recipe directions: 

Place watermelon, lime juice, agave nectar, mint leaves and tequila in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a mesh sieve or fine strainer to remove the watermelon pulp. Line the cups on a baking sheet, and distribute the strained mixture evenly by filling cups ¾ full. You will have about 8 to 10 poptails.

Prepare the limes by slicing 4 to 5 slices from the middle section of each lime (discard the ends). Insert short popsicle sticks or craft spoons through the center of each lime. Place the lime sticks on top of the poptails. Carefully transfer the dixie cups, on the baking sheet, into the freezer and freeze the poptails overnight, or for at least 4 hours. When frozen, sprinkle the lime ends with salt just before peeling the dixie cups off the poptails and serving.
