Why you'll love this recipe:
This easy summer drink recipe has the perfect sweet-tart balance. It's a refreshing porch sipper with just enough complexity to make it feel special. If you want to turn this mocktail into a cocktail, add in blanco (silver) tequila and triple sec for a watermelon margarita. Vodka would also pair well. As with all our drink recipes, we always recommend using fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice will change the flavor.
