Today, we’re starting off Cinco de Mayo week with a bang guys! Grab yourself a cocktail glass and belly up to the bar!
I’m incredibly excited for today’s post for all kinda reasons. First of all, Cinco de Mayo isn’t just a day celebration around these parts. We par-tay like it’s our birthday! It’s a full week of fun, food and festivities.
And today, I’m partnering with my friends at Powell & Mahoney to bring you this yummy Watermelon Mint Margarita as part of their #MargaritaEveryDay celebration for Cinco de Mayo. They’ve organized nine days of margarita recipes from some very talented fellow bloggers, festive foods and fun party crafts all centered around the iconic cocktail.
Please say you’ve heard of Powell and Mahoney Craft Cocktail Mixers? I’ve been a fan of their products for quite a while and I’m so excited to share them with you folks. Their mixers are made with natural ingredients, hand-selected juices, pure cane sugar and agave and no artificial flavors or preservatives. And they’re gluten free AND delicious!
Today’s cocktail is a combo of juicy watermelon, fresh mint and lime, blanco tequila and Powell & Mahoney’s Class Margarita mix. It’s served shaken and strained over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. It’s fun, fresh and fruity! Enjoy!
These Watermelon Mint Margaritas are fresh and fruity and perfect for your Cinco de Mayo party and all summer long.
- 2 oz. Blanco Tequila
- 2 oz. margarita mix, I use Powell & Mahoney Classic Margarita
- 1 1/2 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded
- 2 sprigs mint
- 2 Tbsp. salt
- watermelon balls, for garnish
- lime slices, for garnish
-
Place salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of your glass with a wedge of lime to moisten. Dip in salt. Set aside. Muddle watermelon and mint in a cocktail shaker until watermelon is in small pieces. Add the tequila, the P&M Classic Margarita mix and some ice. Cover and shake vigorously, about 20 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into prepared glass. Garnish with watermelon balls and a slice of fresh lime.
This is so beautiful and I love the idea of a mix to make things easy!
Thanks so much Chris! I’ve never shared a margarita on the blog! This one was so fun!

Yaaaaaaay for Cinco de Mayo! It is definitely one of my favorite holidays, because any holiday that basically requires margaritas is a-okay with me! ;) I’ve never heard of Powell and Mahoney Mixers before, but that’s only because I rarely ever buy prepared mixers, but if they have your stamp of approval, then I know they MUST be good!! This margarita is gorgeous, Mary Ann! I definitely need a pitcher of this deliciousness come Friday! Pinned! Cheers!
You’ll need to check out their mixers Chey! I definitely give my stamp of approval! They’ve got a nice variety and they’re all fresh and preservative free. Happy Cinco de Mayo week!

What a gorgeous Margarita… and I’m with Amisha.. fruity are the beeest!! I’m so longing for watermelon… so I’m pinning this for later when the farm’s watermelons are fresh picked from the fields! And #MargaritaEveryDay ? I’m in! I’m whippin up tacos this week and will be on the ready with a margarita (wishing it was this one!) Gorgeous work, Mary Ann!
Thanks so much Traci. I’m a fruity girl through and through. Lol! I hope you give this one a try. The Powell and Mahoney mixers are fabulous! I bet your tacos will be awesome too! Happy Cinco de Mayo week!
That’s the prettiest margarita I’ve ever seen, MaryAnn. Often margaritas are too sweet for me, but the addition of mint seems like it would make it just the right balance of sweet / herbal.
Awww, thanks so much Marissa! These were so fun to make AND enjoy! They’re not too sweet at all. Happy Monday!
These are so fun. Love the pretty color and of course the watermelon. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo!! :)
I loved making them and shooting them Tieghan! Can’t wait for Friday!

Definitely give them a try Lindsay! They’re really delicious and I love that they’re products aren’t filled with junk. Just good, natural ingredinets. Enjoy!
Love the watermelon margarita! Just saw some watermelons in the market and was wondering what dessert could I make with these. Now, I am skipping the dessert, and going for the meal – MARGARITA TIME! This is lovely.
Me too Cindy! So refreshing! Thanks so much. Always appreciate your comments!
It’s 90 degrees here this week (already!!) and one or two of these margaritas is just what I need to beat the heat! :)
