Watermelon Tequila Fizz
Watermelon is a summer staple. I am more of a fan than my husband is but he won’t turn down a finely crafted cocktail. I can’t get enough of these! This Watermelon Tequila Fizz has been our cocktail of choice for the past few weeks. It is so light and refreshing. It is the perfect way to end a humid lazy summer day.
