This watermelon marg is sure to be your new summer favorite. Super simple with only 4 ingredients, the quality of tequila will really make a difference so use a good silver tequila for the smoothest margarita cocktail. However, a word of warning as these margaritas are so delicious that you may drink them faster than you probably should. Beware!
