Jalapeno Margarita Watermelon Slices are a speedy, boozy treat reliable for summer parties!

Happy Memorial Day, friends!

So, does that mean we are officially in summer mode? Please say, YES?!!

We don’t know about you, but we are pumped for summer this year. It may be because we are in full-on nesting mode with the baby and the whole remodel situation.

BUT! Besides working on the house, we are looking forward to grilling, farmers markets, local street festivals, traveling to the lake, and just enjoying the time to be with Mr. B, family and friends.

Do you have summer plans already lined up? We would love to know what is on your summer bucket list. Speaking of a list, we kind of think we should start one since this will be the last one sans kid. Curious, what should we put on said pre-baby bucket list?

Okay, that is a lot of questions for a holiday especially on a Monday holiday. Let’s get straight to today’s recipe because it’s a boozy one. And when we say boozy it can be made without alcohol as well. Watermelon screams summer to us and we'll be the first to admit it’s not our favorite.

We don’t understand how folks can eat watermelon as if it’s a dessert. Chocolate is dessert. Well, we think we may have found a way to comprise because these Jalapeno Margarita Watermelon Slices are a favorite pre or post treat! Simply soak your watermelon in the standard margarita mix for at least an hour. If you aren’t doing the booze portion a simple syrup would work well too.

Once the watermelon is ready add your garnishes and serve! simple and a fun treat to snack on all summer long! Happy Memorial Day, friends. We hope this summer is a favorite yet!
