Watermelon Margarita with Pomegranate Rimer Recipe

June 26, 2019~ Cinco de Mayo, Cocktails, Summer

Summer entertaining can be a bit tricky when you’re pregnant (or don’t drink) – what do you do when everyone wants to tie one on with a cocktail? You make a mocktail! I made a Watermelon Margarita with Pomegranate Rimer that be done with or without alcohol. Perfect eh?

*Stirrings sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

After my Blackberry Mint lemonade recipe, I heard you guys loud and clear! More mocktail options please! So here is a simple variation on one.

Watermelon Margarita Recipe

You ready for this? I used a mix! Stirrings has a line of easy to use mixers, and I chose the Watermelon Martini Mix, because it feels like the perfect flavour going into a long weekend.

To make these watermelon margaritas you’ll need the Stirrings Watermelon Martini Mix, about 2 cups of ice, Stirring’s Authentic Grenadine, and the Pomegranate Rimmer. I added a sprig of fresh mint – because mint & watermelon go so well together. Don’t forget the blender!

After emptying the Watermelon Martini Mixer into the blender, add as much ice as you want: more ice = more of a slushi. Pulse or blend on high until the ice is sufficiently crushed.

Next, you’ve got to rim your glasses! I thought this was the perfect occasion to use my two retro tiki cups. I found them at our local thrift store, and fell in love (story of my life!). I’m always on the hunt for more, so if I stumble across more you can bet you’ll get more tropical drinks.

For an extra flavour shot, we’re adding 1oz of Stirring’s Authentic Grenadine. If I was pouring into smaller vessels, I would maybe use 1/2 oz.

For a real margarita, you’ll need to add some tequila! I recommend 2oz of Silver tequila.

Virgin Watermelon Margaritas

Keep it simple and just don’t add the tequila. The great thing about the Stirrings Cocktail mixers is that there’s no alcohol in them, so you can switch things up (like I did, and make a margarita instead of a martini), OR  leave out the booze.

All the flavours and colours are packed into the cocktail mixers, so they’re the real heroes here – the alcohol is just in a supporting role.

Mint Watermelon Margaritas

Time to move this operation to the patio! You can pour in your kitchen (or wherever you made the drinks) or you take the pitcher and the prepared tiki cups outside.

Do you love the fact that I’m wearing matching outdoor tropical leisure suit? I do. I thought a turban and some heart shaped sunglasses are just what I needed to complete the look.

Adding fresh mint to your watermelon margarita is an easy way to amp up the flavours – kind of like adding salt to chocolate or caramel – it amplifies by opposing.

Don’t worry, I’m drinking a virgin watermelon margarita! i.e just watermelon mixer with grenadine and mint.

I’m also relaxing on our balcony. It’s a nice space up in the trees, and it feels kinda like a treehouse hang-out sometimes, so when I want to feel like a bird it’s where I go hang out.

Am I fooling anyone here? or can you tell I’m growing a human who is kicking my bladder? Let’s hope I keep my ankles all the way through to the end. Every now and then I get some swelling and they threaten to disappear. No bueno.

Heading into a long weekend here in Canada, I’m feeling ready! I’ve got my Watermelon Margaritas down pat, and can easily spend the entire weekend relaxing in the sun.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
