1 cup 1-inch watermelon chunks or balls (optional)
1 cup watermelon puree (about 3 cups of watermelon)
4 ounces tequila
1 ounce triple sec or Cointreau
1 1/2 ounces Basil Syrup (recipe below) or simple syrup
juice of one lime, plus a few lime wedges to garnish
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

1. Place the watermelon chunks on a plate and freeze them. Reserve a few in the refrigerator if you plan to use them as a garnish.
3. In a small pitcher, stir together the watermelon puree, tequila, triple sec, basil syrup, and lime juice.
4. Combine the sugar and salt on a small plate or saucer. Wipe the rim of each glass with a wedge of fresh lime, and dip it into the salt-sugar mixture to coat.
5. Fill the glasses with frozen watermelon chunks or ice or a combination of the two and pour the margarita mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh watermelon, lime wedges, and
fresh Thai basil sprigs.
