Serrano Chili & Watermelon Margaritas

8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
1 serrano chili
1 1/2 cups lime juice
1 cup silver tequila
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 Tbs Cointreau

1) In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Cook until the sugar is fully dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2) Put serrano chili and watermelon into a blender, blending until fully pureed. It should result in 5 cups of watermelon puree.
3) Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and chill before serving.

Review: This was unbelievably tasty. I put the bulk of it in my ice cream machine to make frozen margaritas. I licked the bowl of the ice cream maker to get all the last remaining bits!! The serrano chili adds just a hint of heat, making it a slight accent flavor. The watermelon is amazing with tequila. I would never have thought this would be this good, but wanted to make something exotic since I'm expecting guests next weekend. This is a good standby recipe for summer parties!!
