Cocktail O’ Clock: The Melonda

Summertime = watermelon. I like it as a nice, plain fruit but I also like it in my dranks. Watermelon and tequila are a compatible pair, and our friends at Maestro Dobel tequila sent us a recipe truly exemplifying that. Pair your sweet melon with some pomegranate and lime for a hint of tart, plus a bit of agave to balance everything else, and you’re in summer heaven.

The Melonda

1 ½ oz. Maestro Dobel tequila
2 oz. fresh blended watermelon
1 oz. pomegranate juice
¼ oz. fresh lime juice
¼ oz. agave nectar

In an ice filled shaker, combine all the ingredients. Shake well. Strain over fresh ice into a salt rimmed glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
