Watermelon Mezcal Punch

Do you ever host a party, “just because?” In the rush of life, kids and a busy work schedule it seems like I don’t get to have my girlfriends over as nearly as often as I would like.

With summer in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to gather a few of my closest girlfriends to have a “just because of celebration.” A celebration of friendship is exactly what I needed. A few hours to reconnect with my friends and enjoy some girl time.

Last week, I hosted a  few girlfriends for a laid back, no-fuss party. What I love about hosting my girlfriend is you don’t have to cook anything fancy or prepare an entire meal. Girlfriends simple want to mingle, nibble and chat.

I kept my menu simple, delicious, yet hassle free by whipping up three easy appetizers that I could make in advance. I made a refreshing honeydew salsa that I served with tortilla chips. Mini picadillo tostadas drizzled with cream and topped with queso fresco are always a hit with my girlfriends. I also served guava grilled shrimp; shrimp is a fantastic entertaining option since they cook quickly. I set everything on serving trays, along with small plates and utensils and let guests snack as they please throughout the evening.

It wouldn’t be a celebration without a delicious cocktail. When Tropicana reached out and asked me to share a cocktail featuring one of their Premium Drinks that can easily be re-created at home. I knew I had to share my delicious mezcal punch. The beauty of this punch is you can adapt the recipe for the season, plus a punch is a great way to serve a group with little effort, and guests can casually help themselves.

Available in 7 fun flavors, including newly-launched Strawberry Peach and Pineapple Mango with Lime, Tropicana Premium Lemonades and Drinks make the perfect addition to your next gathering. With no artificial sweeteners or flavors, each glass is sure to put a smile on your face and a twist to any occasion, whether you’re mixing it into a cocktail or enjoying it straight. Tropicana Premium Lemonades and drinks are available nationwide in both 59-ounce bottles and 12-ounce minis.

To bring a bit of summer into our celebration I reached for Tropicana Watermelon. Watermelon pairs wonderfully with mezcal, and I knew my girlfriends would love a light, bubbly cocktail. To make this cocktail, you will need Tropicana Watermelon Premium Drink, mezcal, fresh watermelon slices, mint leaves and chilled sparkling water.

I prepared the cocktail tableside so that my girlfriends could see the beauty of this cocktail. The beauty of this cocktail is that not only is it stunning, but it also is light, and it paired perfectly with our appetizers.  Glasses, ice and we were set to enjoy our evening. We spent the evening at the table chatting, eating, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Thank you, Tropicana for being part of our “just because of celebration.” It was a wonderful evening. I hope you enjoyed this vibrant mezcal cocktail. Stay tuned as I will be sharing another fun cocktail soon featuring Tropicana as part of their Tropicana Cocktail Club.
