Watermelon Summer Sipper

A few days ago, the mid-western humidity had me craving a refreshment of the adult variety, a common affliction for me this time of year. It was a specific craving. Something cold.

Something fruity, but not artificial. Something colorful.

Then, it hit me. 

My watermelon-strawberry refresher* was precisely what I craved...err, just with a splash of Tequila. So to the kitchen I went, channeling my inner mixologist all the way.
* refresher featured in last week's "Five Days of Breakfast" post

The result tasted like summer in a glass...I hope y'all find the results as irresistible as I did!

5 cups fresh seedless watermelon - cubed

2.5 cups fresh local strawberries - hulled

2 tsp agave syrup

4 oz Espolon Blanco Tequila

Fresh spearmint leaves

(make sure all ingredients are well chilled before blending)

Muddle 2 larger mint leaves in 3 chilled glasses and set in freezer

In blender, liquefy the watermelon+strawberries+agave. 

Once blended, add tequila, give it one more quick buzz in the blender

and pour into the prepared glassware.

(serves 3-4 depending on glass size)

Happy drinking!

Cheers,
