SPICY WATERMELON MARGARITA
The sour formula is the root of many cocktails, including margaritas and mules, perhaps because it's so easy to remember and so simple to adapt. All you need: 1 part sweet, 1 part sour, and 2 parts alcohol.

Steps:
- Fill a wine glass with ice.
- Add tequila and watermelon juice. If unable to purchase locally, simply place about 1 cup of seedless watermelon cubes into a blender and pour through a fine-mesh sieve. (For bigger batches, put 3 or 4 cups of watermelon cubes into blender. Stir before using for refills.) We recommend then including a squeeze from one large lime wedge to offset any sweetness and compliment the tequila, if desired.
- Top with your chosen bubbles. We recommended sparkling rosé, Prosecco, or Topo Chico. (If serving just one portion, sparkling water might be the most efficient choice. If making multiple, pop a bottle!)
- Garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint, if desired. Enjoy!

Note that "cooking time" involves no cooking; however, 2 hours (minimum) freezing time is needed prior to mixing the drinks to make the tequila-spiked watermelon ice cubes.
