Summer is coming to a close. Pumpkin Spice e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g has already started, and Halloween candy is filling the store shelves. It may also be getting a bit chilly where you live, but definitely not where I live! So on this last holiday weekend of summer, I am celebrating with a delicious and icy cold Watermelon Margarita Sorbet…..

I got a little bit carried away with art projects this week, and left the preparation of this recipe until late in the day…like there is already no sunlight late in the day. 🙁

So what you see above is a “soft-serve” variation of Watermelon Margarita Sorbet since I did not leave myself enough time for it to chill for 5 hours!! I mean seriously, that is such a long time to wait, lol Not that it takes away any of the deliciousness…..

it’s just very soft and just slightly more frozen than a Watermelon Margarita served with a straw. 🙂

Okay, I have a question….what is up with these “seedless” watermelons? Are these not seeds…..

because they look like seeds to me!! Luckily, they disintegrate into the sorbet since I have the taste palette of a picky five year old. 🙂

How to make Watermelon Margarita Sorbet:

Place all ingredients into a blender…..

and blend until smooth…and frothy…..

Place mixture in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour. I left mine in the blender container.

Pour mixture into a frozen canister for your ice cream maker, and process according to manufacture’s instructions. {about 20 minutes}…..

Serve immediately for a soft serve consistency. For a more typical, scoopable consistency, freeze for 3 to 5 hours…..

I am still fascinated by the smooth, creamy texture that is achieved without any dairy. 🙂

Recipe Notes:

• If you do not have an ice cream maker, I am guessing that you could simply freeze the mixture in the freezer until ready to serve….but don’t quote me on that
• Yes, you can leave out the tequila and add orange juice instead of the orange liqueur, but then you will have a Watermelon Sorbet which is different.
