YELLOW WATERMELON MARGARITAS
A super seasonal cocktail that's positively bursting with yellow watermelon, this tasty take on the margarita is fruitier and has a more vibrant color than the classic. If you really want to bring the party to the pool, serve alongside a crispy snack and a second beverage, like the juicy rosé sangria pictured at right.

Steps:
- Bring sugar, 1/3 cup water, and lime peels to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Strain into a pitcher with lime juice.
- Working in batches, purée watermelon in a food processor or blender; strain through a coarse-mesh sieve (you should have 3 cups). Add melon purée, tequila, and elderflower liqueur to the pitcher with lime syrup and stir. Chill, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and dip glasses in coarse salt. Fill glasses with ice and 1 or 2 thin lime rounds. To make each drink, add more ice and 1/2 cup tequila mixture to a cocktail shaker. Shake 15 seconds; strain into a glass. Repeat for remaining drinks and serve immediately.
