Refreshing Watermelon Margarita

• Vanilla Mint Simple Syrup
• 1/2 cup White Granulated Sugar ~ Organic works well too
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1/2 Vanilla Bean Split
• 1 sprig mint - tear into pieces
• Watermelon Drinky Drink
• 1 Small Seedless Watermelon Cubed - Doesnt have to be perfect
• 1 whole Orange Squeezed
• 1 whole Lime Squeezed
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
• 1/2 cup Silver Tequila
• 1 1 cup Ice Cubes

1. Add sugar and water to a sauce pan and simmer at a medium - low heat for about a minute. Add Vanilla bean and Mint and cook down till the sugar dissolves to syrup. rnLet the syrup cool on the side to use as a sweetener for the watermelon drink. The Simple syrup is great in lemonade too.
2. Place sieve or a strainer on top of a bowl and pour in watermelon juice mixture to remove the fruit pulp. What remains in the bowl is what you will use.
3. Back to the blender: add the Watermelon Drink, Grand Marnier, Tequila, and Vanilla Mint simple syrup with ice and blend well. Serve in Margarita glass over ice or as a Martini.
