Cinco de Just Give Me Another

Today is Cinco de Mayo!

Everyone is out drinking and having fun, but I wanted to stay home and have this drink I have been dreaming about.

What happens when you have two of my favorite things and add my newest obsession. Yes that's right, something delicious.

BRB, I am getting a refill. Talk amongst yourselves.

Ok, I am back.

I saw the Spicy Watermelon Lemonade from Minute Maid and just knew it would make the best drink. I was not wrong.

Here is the recipe for Cinco de I Don't Care, it was 80 Degrees Today, Just Give Me One More

1.5 oz of Patron Tequila
6 oz of Minute Maid Watermelon Spicy Lemonade
Twang Beer Salt for the Rim

Salt your rim....BRB....I'm back. I got another one. They are sooo good.
Pour over ice
Quick stir
Drink Up!

You can do a lime wedge or even a Jalapeno on a pick, but this is just too good to waste time.

Be safe friends. I will be here, finishing off this bottle.

Cheers,
andrea

Crushing on the Watermelon

When walking in Market Square in San Antonio, Texas, vendors are selling agua frescas. Just fresh blended fruit as a drink. Now these vendors can be found in many, many locations, but the fruit tastes sweeter in SATX. This is my ode to summer in SA.

Here is the Watermelon Crush.

In a blender or mixing glass, add:
1 cup of watermelon
2 oz of Grey Goose Vodka
1 oz of Midori

Blend until no more chunks. Some will suggest to double strain over ice however, I don't bother.
You can top off with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, but taste first. Sometimes your watermelon will be sweet enough. Garnish with a lime wheel. Enjoy.

Tip: So once I started sipping, I realized I wanted a bit of spice. I had been drinking through a straw, but I shook a little Tajin in the top edge. Drinking with the Tajin tingle on my lip made this drink even better!

What a terrific day for a drink this refreshing!

cheers,
