It’s officially summer and that means it’s time to enjoy a refreshing cocktail by the pool! I love making margaritas and experimenting with different flavors. I don’t like my margaritas to be too sweet, and I always like them a little spicy. This recipe is PERFECT if you’re looking for a lower calorie option that still has a ton of flavor. The only “sweetness” in this drink comes from the natural flavor of the watermelon. It is very refreshing and they go down a little too easy. Cheers!
