Tequila Honeysuckle with Watermelon

Drink Type: Cocktail - T

Ingredients

3 piece(s) Watermelon the size of an ice cube - (more)
1 1/2 oz. Partida Reposado Tequila - (more)
3/4 oz. Lime Juice - (more)
3/4 oz. Simple Syrup Actually Honey syrup. 2 parts honey, 1 part water and boil. Cool before using. - (more)

Instructions

Lightly muddle the watermelon and then add the Reposado Tequila, lime juice and honey syrup. Shake all the ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

The combination of citrus juice and honey syrup also creates what is called a honeysuckle cocktail which can be made with several different spirits. I've recently had tequila on my mind so I made a tequila honeysuckle and bumped it up a notch by adding a couple of chunks of watermelon. I found that the watermelon added another layer of flavor and paired well with the honey syrup and the richness of the Reposado Tequila. This cocktail was really amazing and I encourage anyone who is trying to build up their drink repertoire to add this one to their list! Enjoy – Navarro Carr, Trios, Atlanta
