Tequila-Watermelon Refresco
We are Summer chillin’
My little brother is visiting from New York, our entire familia is together, we are feasting and sipping cocktails, life is good.
Last night everyone stopped by for dinner and I knew I had to whip up something summery, refreshing and spiked with tequila.
We are tequila loving peeps.
This fizzy watermelon cocktail spiked with tequila is finished off with a splash of soda for a refreshing summer cocktail.
Refresco is the Spanish word for soft drink, soda.
This lovely tinted cocktail made from fresh watermelon is a recipe from Cooking Light.
