Time to get the weekend started and try this watermelon wine margarita.  I had some left over red wine so I decided to make a cocktail using it.  I am still in Mexico so I went with a margarita.  I wanted to enhance the flavor with summer so I made up some quick watermelon juice to add to the mix.  Everything was shaken up with ice and served on the rocks.  The sugar rim added some additional sweetness that married well with the tartness of the red wine.  Wine up your weekend with this awesome margarita! Cheers!
