Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Cocktail Recipe

How amazing does a Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Cocktail Recipe sound right now?Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Cocktail Recipe

Watermelon screams summer and sunlight and lazy days by the pool, but watermelon actually has its place any time of year, even at a Los Angeles Christmas cocktail party. Here in Southern California, and I’m sure in many other places (like, say, Mexico), we have a tradition of eating tamales on Christmas. And what would go better with a tamale at a holiday party than a sweet, smoky, spicy cocktail of watermelon juice and mezcal? So basically you can’t go wrong this delicious concoction any time of year.

Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Cocktail Recipe 2The addition of refreshing muddled cilantro balances out the heat from the chilis, making this a drink that bites at the lips while going down easy, more like a light agua fresca. The added bonus? Brightening your glass with cheery red and green Christmas colors! This recipe will spice up any holiday gathering by warming your heart as well as your mouth.  Watermelon juice is the perfect addition because it has all the flavor of watermelon, but it’s not too sweet; it reminds me of a homemade watermelon agua fresca.

Jamie, I tried your Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Cocktail Recipe last weekend, and it came out great! My husband and kids loved it and practically forced me to promise to make it again next week. I’ll try adding a few more cilantro leaves next time, as I love to experiment.
Thank you for this write-up, and have a great day!
