I’m hoping that you all had an awesome, fun and safe Fourth of July holiday. When I think of an all American fruit, a big fat juicy watermelon is the first thing that comes to mind… so I made this Watermelon Fizz Cocktail to celebrate the holiday!
Spiked watermelon, that is :-). This cocktail is not as sweet as the normal cocktails I post, so be warned. It’s just a tad sweet with a tequila kick.
YES!!!
You could substitute rum and have yourself a nice little mojito, but I wanted tequila. And it was ohhhh so good.
Of course I needed a red-inspired cocktail to celebrate the Fourth of July!
These are your ingredients: fresh watermelon, fresh mint leaves, tequila, club soda and agave syrup. You’re also gonna need a muddler to muddle up the watermelon and mint.
Before I purchased my first muddler, I would make do by using the handle of a large wooden spoon. If you don’t have (or don’t want to buy) agave syrup, simple sugar syrup will work.
So there. You don’t have any excuse not to make it. Cheers!
