TEQUILA WATERMELON SPRITZER



Tequila Watermelon Spritzer image

Like a watermelon margarita, but even easier to drink.

Provided by Kaitlyn Yarborough

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila, such as Espolon or Casamigos (about 1 shot)
3 ounces watermelon juice (about 2 shots)
Squeeze of lime juice (from one wedge)
Sparkling rosé, Prosecco, or sparkling water
Watermelon wedge and mint for garnish (optional)

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!

To make watermelon puree, put seedless chunks of watermelon in a blender and pulse, then push the puree through a mesh sieve to make it smoother. (Cutting a whole watermelon might make your kitchen look like a Gallagher set, so it's O.K. to use precut watermelon from a supermarket.)
