notes:

I’m a huge fan watermelon margaritas, in fact three of the cocktail recipes here are all basically riffs on this drink. The Sophia is the higher brow one, and the Trainwreck-arita is the Garbage Pail Cousin. This one is the goldilocks I think. It’s just the right combination of tart Jolly Rancheresque watermelon flavor with a spicy vegetal note from the jalapeño, and a solid margarita base.
