There’s nothing quite like watermelon in the summer, and this cocktail captures that fresh, juicy flavor with just the right balance of citrus and bubbles.
INGREDIENTS
(makes 1)
2 oz. silver tequila
1 oz. lime juice, fresh
2 oz. watermelon juice, fresh (muddled, strained)
sparkling mineral water (we like Topo Chico Lime with Mint.)
3–4 fresh mint leaves
sea salt
METHOD
Muddle watermelon and mint in a shaker. Add tequila, lime juice, and ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a glass over fresh ice, add more mint leaves, top with sparkling water, and a pinch of sea salt. Garnish as desired.
Tip: Love watermelon as much as we do? Add additional watermelon to taste for a deeper color and fuller fruit flavor; adjust the tequila as desired to maintain balance.
