Watermelon Margaritas
“Summer’s best flavours get frosty in the cocktail we serve at all our backyard shindigs. We mix sun-ripened watermelon and our favourite tequila with just the right amount of ice for a thick and boozy sipper that’s perfect when we’re grilling and chilling.” —Alicia Cummings, Marshalltown, Iowa
