This Honeydew Margarita is pure perfection! The recipe is light and refreshing and has the perfect mix of honeydew, lime and, of course, tequila!!

Honeydew margarita recipe with lime and chili salt.

At 60%, Margarita is the most popular drink in the U.S. But not everyone understands the rich history behind the margarita. 

Not everyone knows the variety of ways to make one or what alcohol to use. There’s a lot to know about this classic cocktail that can make you appreciate this delicious drink. 

Brief History of the Margarita

Margarita history starts with Margaret Sames. In 1948, she invited some guests over for a cocktail party and decided to experiment with some alcohol. She mixed Cointreau and tequila with a bit of lime and salt around the edge of the glass. 

You can find ten marvelous Margarita recipes on our website here. 

How to Make a Honeydew Margarita

Freshly juiced honeydew and I’ve been loving this juicer lately because it’s so small and easy to clean. I use it to make fresh juice a few times a week.

Juicing honeydew is extremely easy too… I cut the rind off and then just push it through.

A half of a honeydew makes more than enough for about 12 margaritas. Use the other half to garnish the drink. This is also a perfect batch cocktail too.

Ingredients

  • Freshly juiced honeydew
  • Tequila1 ounce 
  • Lime juice
  • Simple syrup
  • Grand Marnier

Directions

  • Using a juicer (this one is my fave!) juice ½ of a honeydew.
  • Make a simple syrup (1 cup cane sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil until sugar has dissolved. Then let it cool.
  • In a cocktail shaker add all of the ingredients with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds or more.
  • For a little chili, spice add Tajin on the side of the glass or the rim.
  • Stain the margarita in the glass over cubed ice.
  • Garnish and enjoy!

BEST TEQUILA FOR A MARGARITA

Here are a few of our favorite tequilas. You can buy most of these at Target or any beverage store and at most grocery stores. They’re all affordable and good quality.

Casamigos Blanco Tequila – Crisp with hints of vanilla. It’s a very good tequila to sip too.

Cazodores Tequila Reposado

Espolòn Reposada Tequila Blanco or Gold

Hornitos Reposado Tequila 

El Destilador Silver Tequila – Very affordable

HOW DO YOU RIM A GLASS WITH SALT?

The best way to rim a glass and have the salt stay on the rim is using water. Place water in a shallow plate and salt in a separate shallow plate. 

Dip the rim of the glass in the water and then in the salt. We find that this works much better than using a lime or lemon wedge or citrus juice.

How Much Alcohol is in a Honeydew Margarita?

Typically, there are one to two ounces of Tequila in a Margarita. You can add more or less depending on how you like the taste of Tequila.

In addition to Tequila, you also add one ounce of orange liqueur, but this is optional depending on the recipe you’re making.

People often confuse Triple Sec as Tequila, when it is actually orange-flavored liqueur.

GLASSES

You can use any 8-ounce low ball glass. You can also use a traditional Welled Margarita Glass. It offers a wide rim for you to put salt or sugar on it. It’s an elegant design that’s perfect for this drink!

    This looks so refreshing! Do you think this could also be made in a bigger batch/pitcher?

      Yes for sure!! Just make it for the number of people you have… then I would taste it to see if it needs more honeydew or whatever. It would be delicious as a large batch!
