Watermelon and mint always work well together. This simple riff on the classic Margarita from bartender Gabe Sanchez of Midnight Rambler in Dallas (which we have personally visited and LOVE). This recipe combines these two ingredients to create a grassy, citrusy punch that helps give a new twist to an old classic.
Recommended glassware: Margarita glass or Rocks Glass
