Excellent!
Made this cocktail for my 4th of July BBQ party and everyone loved it! It’s a sweet refreshing drink and you can barely taste the tequila, which is good and bad at the same time! Hehe! I made a batch without the tequila and it was a huge success with the kids. Thanks Bobby Flay for this great recipe!
I would delete the mint and add more lime!! Other than that, it was really yummy!
I, too, saw the episode and had all the ingredients on hand. Made a pitcher that afternoon. Enjoyed all of the flavors – never had a drink with watermelon juice before. Drank it poolside with friends and everyone loved it! A perfect summer drink.
this is now my new favorite summer drink. It was over the top delicious. I happened to have had all those ingredients and made it immediately after I saw Bobby Make it and we had it that afternoon. Wow! so yummy!!!
I saw this recipe this morning and went out and bought a watermelon to try it. I didn’t have tequila so I used rum instead. And no food processor but the food mill worked great. These can sneak up on you if you are not careful!
