The Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Margarita I’ll Be Drinking All Summer Long

Okay, I’m a betch who enjoys a cocktail, and margaritas are my jam! I typically switch up my go-to drink seasonally, and this year I will be enjoying my newest concoction, Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Margarita’s all summer long!

This cocktail is refreshing from the mixture of fruit, but it packs a punch from the smoky, spicy flavors of the mezcal and fresh jalapeño. YUM.

We’ve all been locked up raw the past few months (thank you for teaching me this phrase @heatherkmcmahan, it’s perfect).

& I, for one, am ready to lay in the sun, have a socially-distanced hang with my friends, in our big floppy hat’s with a chilled spicy watermelon Mezcal Margy in hand! YAS.

So if that sounds like a good time to you, here’s the squeeze on the marg.

Directions

Prep two cups of watermelon and two cups of strawberries. Drop the fruit in your high-speed blender and mix it with the juice of one lemon.

Hot tip: Strain your fruit through a nut bag to get rid of all the pulp.

Now, grab your favorite glassware (I keep my in the freezer), and a small plate for your tajin. Cut a lime wedge and moisten your glass before dipping the rim in the tajin. Now add ice.

Hot tip #2: Use a sphere shaped ice cube for flare.

Next, pour your watermelon/strawberry mix into your chic glassware. Add agave, coconut water, and a few slices of jalapeño. Top your cocktail with Topo Chico mineral water and mix with a glass stirrer. Garnish with a slice of lime. Mmm, it’s so good!

I can’t wait for you to try this one, it’s the tits!

Trust me here, when you decide to give this recipe a go, clear your afternoon because you’ll want more than one.

Cheers honeys!!

& that’s the squeeze.
