Gotta love this holiday for all it's Patriotic meaning....but also as it inaugurates us into SUMMER!!!! This is a super refreshing cocktail and so fun if you can get the layering down. You can make big batches of the red ingredients and the blue ingredients and just put them together as you serve.
Red Ingredients:
1 oz watermelon schnapps
splash of cranberry juice
Blue Ingredients:
1 jalapeno thinly sliced
1 lemon thinly sliced
1 lime thinly sliced
1-1/2 oz tequila
1/4 oz blue curacao
1/2 oz simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water - heated until sugar dissolves)
Mix watermelon schnapps and cranberry juice in a shaker and pour over ice. In another shaker muddle (crush) the jalapeno, lemon and lime with the tequila, curacao and simple syrup. Slowly strain the blue ingredients into the glass over red ingredients with ice.
Garnish with a watermelon slice.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!
ENJOY!
