How to make a watermelon cocktail?

Did I mention that this cocktail is a breeze to make? This recipe is for a single serving made in a shaker but can scale up the recipe to make a whole pitcher. Basically, all you do is mix everything together, shake or stir with some ice, and voilà! Basically, the greatest effort will be going to buy fruit LOL.

I used Sutter Home Moscato to make this delicious cocktail! Of course, I couldn’t forget my Latino roots so I also added a splash of Tequila … the perfect kick!!!
