TEQUILA WATERMELON SPRITZER

Steps:

• Fill a wine glass with ice.
• Add tequila and watermelon juice. If unable to purchase locally, simply place about 1 cup of seedless watermelon cubes into a blender and pour through a fine-mesh sieve. (For bigger batches, put 3 or 4 cups of watermelon cubes into blender. Stir before using for refills.) We recommend then including a squeeze from one large lime wedge to offset any sweetness and compliment the tequila, if desired.
• Top with your chosen bubbles. We recommended sparkling rosé, Prosecco, or Topo Chico. (If serving just one portion, sparkling water might be the most efficient choice. If making multiple, pop a bottle!)
• Garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint, if desired. Enjoy!
