Watermelon!

Watermelon lips! A perfect shade for spring. So lively and vibrant.

Israeli watermelon and feta snacks. So easy and so delicious and refreshing!

Love the styling in these shots.

Aaaand last but not least, watermelon margaritas... if you're working hard, you have to unwind somehow!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 wide strips orange zest
  • 12 ounces watermelon cubes (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 cup white or silver tequila
  • Lime wedges

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and orange
    zest to a boil over high. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. Let syrup cool
    in a bowl. In a blender, puree watermelon cubes until
    smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids, into a pitcher (you should have about 1 cup juice). Stir in syrup, lime juice, and tequila. Fill salt-rimmed glasses with ice, then pour margarita mixture over top. Garnish with lime wedges.
