Fresh Cantaloupe Margaritas Recipe

Name: Fresh Cantaloupe Margaritas Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 3 margaritas
Ingredients: 4 1/2 cups cantaloupe cut into rough 1 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/3 pounds fruit); 4 1/2 ounces (9 tablespoons) fresh juice from 7 to 9 limes; 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) Cointreau; 6 ounces (3/4 cup) blanco tequila; 3 mint sprigs for garnish

Note: Recipe can be doubled. Blend mixture in two separate batches if doubling. For best results, use a very ripe cantaloupe. If your cantaloupe is not sweet enough, sugar can be added to the blender a teaspoon at a time until desired sweetness level is reached (taste as you go).
