Chop the watermelon into chunks and remove any seeds.
In a blender, add 4 cups of watermelon chunks and blend until smooth.
Strain the watermelon juice through a fine sieve into a pitcher to remove pulp, if desired.
Add 1 cup of tequila, 1/2 cup of lime juice, and 1/4 cup of orange liqueur to the strained watermelon juice. Stir well to combine.
Prepare the margarita glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and then dipping into salt to create a salted rim.
Fill the glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the watermelon margarita mixture over the ice.
Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately. Enjoy!
