A Cinco to Remember

I can’t believe it is May already!! Cinco de Mayo is Wednesday and I need a really good margarita in my life. I decided to take a slight detour this year and make a riff on the classic cocktail The Last Word - which features gin, maraschino, cherry liquer, Chartreuse, and lime juice. My riff replaces the gin with tequila and adds watermelon juice. Ooohweee this one is deeeelicious!! Its tart, yet sweet and overall so satisfying. I would make a punch of this stuff but Chartreuse is $$$!!! What kind of margarita are you looking forward to this week?? Let me know!

Watermelon’s Last Words
🍉 1.5 ozs watermelon juice
🥃 2/3 oz tequila blanco
🍒 2/3 oz Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liquer
🌿 2/3 oz Yellow Chartreuse
🍋 2/3 oz lime juice
🍯 1/2 oz agave syrup

Shake all ingredients until well combined. Strain and pour into glass. Garnish with cherries and dehydrated like wheel (optional). Enjoy!
