Author Notes:	This is the perfect brunch time Margarita. This diabetic friendly recipe was given to us by Marilyn Helton, author of our Diabetic Dining on Fabulous Foods column.Â Marilyn always says, "A diagnosis of diabetes does NOT have to be a culinary death sentence! Marilyn originally got this recipe from Light the Fire - Fiery Food with a Light New Attitude!, by Linda Matthie-Jacobs. While this is not aspcifically a diabetic cooking book, it does contain lots of great lightened south-of-the-border favorites.
Ingredients:	2 teaspoons sugar 2 fresh limes, cut in half 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut in 2 chunks 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup tequila 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec lime wedges, for garnish watermelon balls, for garnish
Instructions:	Place 2 teaspoons sugar in a small dish. Rub rim of margarita glasses with 1 cut half of lime, and then roll glasses in sugar to coat. Place prepared glasses in the freezer until ready to serve drinks. Combine juice of limes, watermelon, 2 tablespoons sugar, tequila and orange-flavored liqueur in a blender and process until smooth. Fill blender with ice cubes and process until mixture is a slush consistency. Fill prepared glasses with margaritas; garnish each glass with a lime wedge and watermelon balls on a skewer and serve immediately. Dietary Exchanges: 1/2 Bread/Starch, 1/2 Fruit, 1 Fat
