One of my favorite summer cocktail flavors is watermelon. There’s just something about a cold fruity drink during the summer that just hits the spot. Hornitos Tequila has a unique new summery-spin on the classic Mojito.
Watermelon Hornijo
Ingredients:
2 oz Hornitos Reposado
2 tsp sugar
6-8 mint leaves
Club soda
1 lime, halved
4 ounces fresh watermelon
Mint sprig for garnish
Directions: In a large glass, combine mint, lime, and sugar. Using a muddler, mash together mint and lime until sugar is dissolved. Add watermelon, and muddle until broken down. Stir in Hornitos Reposado and ice cubes, and garnish with mint sprig.
Enjoy!
Is it summer sit out on the deck and drink cocktail season yet? I really am looking forward to it.
