For this piece, we are going heavy on the sweet side of mixology with ten irresistible cocktails. We’ve got it all, from coolers and margaritas to mojitos and daiquiris that'll make you swoon.

Yellow Watermelon Margarita

All the best things in life need a unique touch. Most fine restaurants complement their delicious dishes with elegant ambiance and décor, while the best online roulette casinos offer a premium entertainment experience with personalized support, enticing bonuses, and other perks. The same goes for delicious margaritas—the most memorable recipes take it up a notch with unexpected twists.

Take, for instance, the Yellow Watermelon Margarita. This fruity and refreshing take on the classic margarita swaps out the traditional triple sec for St. Germain elderflower liqueur. But there are no hard-and-fast rules here.

Any good elderflower liqueur like Bitter Truth, Cote Jolie, or Pür Blossom will help create a unique flavor profile that perfectly complements the sweet notes of yellow watermelon and the smooth character of Blanco tequila.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. Blanco tequila
  • 1 oz. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz. yellow watermelon puree
  • Ice
  • Salt for rimming (optional)
  • Yellow watermelon wedge for garnish

Instructions

  • Rim a margarita glass with salt.
  • In a shaker, combine tequila, St. Germain, lime juice, and watermelon puree with ice.
  • Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a yellow watermelon wedge.
