Awesome
Just ok…I like Claire’s recipes and her show and her cookbook is wonderful — I love the simplicity of 5 ingredients. This drink is wonderful if you like fruity cocktails — which I do not. I wanted to try it though because it’s so hot outside and it looked refreshing. And it is but it’s so very sweet; even with the cucumber. So I had one glass and then switched to my favorite drink: champagne. If you like sweet drinks, you will love this. If you don’t then I’d steer clear of this one!
Fantastico, Claire! Delicious and healthy!
Holy Moly these were great! So refreshing- the only change I made was I added a little bit of water-
This was so wonderful, refreshing. My only change that I made was using less cucumber so that the watermelon did not get over powered. My husband is not a tequila drinker so we made his with vodka. Yummy.
I made a small batch last nite, it was simple and delicious….loved the salted rim with the lime zest!!! didn’t need any sweetener though, it was good as is, and I used a freshly picked cucumber from my garden!!! thank you.
WOW. Such a refreshing cocktail I’ve made it twice. Everytime has been a big hit. Cool, sweet and suddle the tequila is sneaky. All I can say is WOW.
I just LOVE Claire’s show and many successes with other recipes from her. I was satisfied using super fresh ingredients to get the flavor but it lacked the flavor saturation a good maggie has. I didn’t use too much tequila but I could barely taste the sweetness of the watermelon and it was super ripe and sweet before I used it I may try making this again when it’s really hot in the summer!
