Looking for the best watermelon margarita in New Orleans or a refreshing summer cocktail near you? Felipe’s has your summer plans covered.
Summer has a flavor, and at Felipe’s Taqueria, it tastes like watermelon, fresh-squeezed citrus, premium blue agave tequila, and a little vacation energy in a glass.
The Watermelon Margarita is back at Felipe’s for a limited time, and it is ready to cool down your summer one sip at a time.
Whether you are looking for the perfect margarita in New Orleans, a refreshing cocktail in Naples, or just a reason to gather your crew for tacos, chips, queso, and hand-squeezed margaritas, Felipe’s has your summer plans covered. Our Watermelon Margarita is sweet, refreshing, bright, and made for the kind of days when the sun is out, the chips are flowing, and nobody is in a rush.
This fan-favorite seasonal margarita has earned its comeback. It is bold enough to stand out, refreshing enough to beat the heat, and fun enough to make a regular lunch, dinner, or happy hour feel like a summer celebration.
So yes, she’s back.
And yes, you should probably text the group chat.
At Felipe’s, we do margaritas the way we do our food: fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
The Watermelon Margarita is not just a pink drink with a cute garnish. It is a handcrafted summer cocktail made with premium blue agave tequila, house-made watermelon puree, and fresh-squeezed citrus juices. That fresh citrus is a big deal. We are not here for bottled sour mix energy. Felipe’s margaritas are known for that bright, clean, hand-squeezed flavor, and the Watermelon Margarita brings that same signature freshness with a juicy seasonal twist.
It is light, refreshing, and just sweet enough without losing the bold margarita flavor guests love.
You can enjoy it frozen or on the rocks, depending on your summer mood.
Feeling classic? Go on the rocks.
Trying to survive the Louisiana or Florida heat? Frozen might be calling your name.
Want to add a little personality? Choose your rim: salted, sugared, or spicy tajín. Each one gives the drink a different vibe. Salt keeps it classic. Sugar leans into the juicy watermelon flavor. Tajín adds a little kick and makes every sip feel like summer with a wink.
And of course, it is topped with a fresh slice of watermelon, because if you are bringing back a summer favorite, you might as well dress it for the occasion.
A great margarita should not have to sit alone. It needs good food beside it. Fortunately, Felipe’s has no shortage of pairings.
The Watermelon Margarita goes with just about everything on the menu, but some combinations feel especially made for summer.
Pair it with chips and queso for a laid-back afternoon snack that accidentally becomes dinner. Add guacamole and house-made salsa, and suddenly your table has become the best decision you made all day.
It also pairs perfectly with tacos, especially when you want something fresh, bold, and easy to enjoy with friends. Whether you go with chicken, steak, shrimp, carnitas, veggies, or another Felipe’s favorite, the watermelon and citrus flavors balance the savory, smoky, spicy, and fresh toppings beautifully.
Craving something bigger? Grab a Super Burrito, a Burrito Bowl, a Taco Salad, or a Plato. The Watermelon Margarita cuts through the richness and brings that refreshing, fruit-forward finish that makes every bite feel like summer.
And if your order includes queso, guac, or salsa, even better. Watermelon plus chips and dip is a summer power move.
New Orleans knows how to do summer. It also knows how to do margaritas.
When the heat settles in and the city starts moving at that slower, sweatier, “where’s the nearest cold drink?” pace, Felipe’s Watermelon Margarita is exactly what the day needs. It is refreshing after work, perfect before a night out, and dangerously easy to say yes to when someone suggests “just one marg.”
Whether you are near the French Quarter, Uptown, Mid-City, or Metairie Road, Felipe’s is ready when the watermelon craving hits.
Stop by before a night downtown. Cool off after running errands. Make it part of your weekend plans. Or turn an ordinary weekday into something that feels a little more like vacation.
The Watermelon Margarita is made for patio season, taco cravings, warm nights, and those New Orleans afternoons when water is responsible, but tequila sounds more fun.
Naples, this one is for you too.
Felipe’s Watermelon Margarita is back at both Naples restaurants, Park Shore Plaza and Logan Landings, just in time for warm Florida days, beach plans, lunch breaks, and summer evenings.
It is the kind of cocktail that fits Naples perfectly: refreshing, colorful, fresh, and easy to enjoy with made-from-scratch Mexican food.
Whether you are grabbing lunch, meeting friends for dinner, cooling off after the beach, or looking for a fun margarita near you, Felipe’s Watermelon Margarita brings the summer flavor.
Frozen or on the rocks, it is a great way to turn your Felipe’s visit into a little summer escape.
Felipe’s is a scratch kitchen, and that freshness matters.
Our restaurants serve award-winning Mexican cuisine made in small batches with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the kind of quality you can taste. From house-made salsas to fresh toppings and hand-squeezed margaritas, Felipe’s is built around real flavor.
That is why the Watermelon Margarita fits so well here. It is not just a seasonal special tossed onto the menu. It is part of what Felipe’s does best: bright flavors, fresh ingredients, and a fun experience that keeps guests coming back.
There is something about a watermelon margarita that instantly feels like summer. Maybe it is the color, the juicy flavor, the fact that watermelon and sunshine have been best friends forever.
Whatever the reason, this margarita brings the good vibes.
One of the best things about Felipe’s Watermelon Margarita is that you can make it your own.
Frozen Watermelon Margarita fans know the deal. It is icy, smooth, refreshing, and exactly what you want when the temperature is doing too much. It is the kind of drink that makes you say, “Okay, summer, we can work with this.”
On the rocks fans have their own argument. The flavor is crisp, bright, and clean. You get that fresh watermelon and citrus flavor in every sip, with the tequila shining through in the best way.
There is no wrong answer here.
Actually, there is one wrong answer: not trying it while it is available.
A margarita rim is not just decoration. It is a personality test.
Salted rim? You appreciate the classics. You know what works, and you respect the margarita tradition.
Sugared rim? You are here for summer sweetness, watermelon flavor, and full refreshment mode.
Tajín rim? You like a little kick. You want sweet, citrusy, spicy, and fun all in the same sip.
The Watermelon Margarita works beautifully with all three, which means you may need to try more than one version before summer is over. For research, obviously.
Watermelon is one of the most refreshing flavors of summer. It is juicy, light, and naturally sweet without feeling heavy.
