Watermelon Margarita

• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup water
• 3 wide strips orange zest
• 2 cups watermelon cubes frozen
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• ½ cup white or silver tequila
• ¼ cup Resurrection Classic Gin
• Lime wedges

DIRECTIONS

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
