Watermelon Margarita
Tequila
A vibrant twist on the classic margarita, the Watermelon Margarita is perfect for hot summer days. This cocktail blends the sweet, juicy flavors of fresh watermelon with the tangy bite of lime and the bold character of tequila, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and citrus. With its refreshing and fruity profile, this drink is the superior way to enjoy the season’s best flavors.
