Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring 1 cup water and ⅓ cup sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Stir in chopped rosemary; steep for 1 hour.

Place ½ frozen watermelon-lemonade cubes and 4 ounces tequila in a blender or the bowl of a food processor; blend until slushy, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water to help blend mixture as needed. Pour into the prepared glasses. Repeat with remaining each watermelon-lemonade cubes and tequila. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and watermelon wedges.
