Equipment

• Cocktail shaker
• Muddler or wooden spoon
• Fine-mesh strainer
• Highball glass
• Sharp knife
• Cutting Board
• Measuring jigger or shot glass

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh watermelon chunks
• 2 oz silver tequila
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• Club soda
• Ice cubes
• Watermelon wedge and lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

• Cut the watermelon into 1-inch chunks and remove any seeds.
• Put watermelon chunks in the cocktail shaker and muddle until they release their juice.
• Add tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
• Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 15 seconds.
• Strain the mixture into an ice-filled highball glass using a fine-mesh strainer.
• Top with club soda and stir gently.

Notes

Store extra watermelon chunks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For a less sweet version, skip the simple syrup and let the natural watermelon sweetness shine.

You can make the drink ahead without the club soda. Add the soda right before serving to keep it fizzy.

If you don’t have a muddler, use a blender to puree the watermelon.

Tasting Notes

The Watermelon Tequila Fizz offers bright and fresh flavors with sweet and citrus notes.

Natural watermelon sweetness blends with the earthy agave of tequila.

A gentle fizz adds a sparkling touch to each sip.

The drink starts with a sweet watermelon taste and finishes with hints of lime and mint.

Primary Flavor Notes:

• Fresh watermelon
• Clean agave
• Bright citrus
• Cool mint
• Light bubbles

The cocktail has a pale pink color and a semi-transparent appearance.

When served over ice, tiny bubbles rise to create a thin layer of foam at the top.

The texture is smooth and refreshing, with carbonation adding a pleasant tingle.

The drink feels light and cool on the palate, perfect for warm weather sipping.

Aroma Notes:

• Sweet watermelon
• Fresh lime zest
• Green mint
• Light tequila

The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a subtle sweetness that fades quickly.

Each element balances well, with no single ingredient overpowering the others.

Substitute

You can swap tequila with mezcal or vodka for a different flavor profile.

Mezcal adds a smoky touch, while vodka creates a lighter taste.

No watermelon? Use fresh strawberries or raspberries instead.

Blend 1 cup of berries with 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila with lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.

This makes a refreshing drink that everyone can enjoy.

Quick replacements for simple syrup:

• Agave nectar (2 tablespoons)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Sugar (3 tablespoons)

Club soda alternatives:

• Sparkling water
• Tonic water
• Ginger beer

Need to skip the lime juice? Try lemon juice or orange juice in the same amount.

These citrus options keep the drink balanced and fresh.

For garnish swaps, try:

• Mint leaves
• Orange wedges
• Cucumber slices
