Last week, I bought a watermelon the size of Texas. I love watermelon and have eaten it for dinner on more than one occasion. But, this one was just way too big and we were going out-of-town. So, I panicked a bit, cut it into cubes and threw it in the freezer. How did it go from the freezer to a cocktail you ask? The tequila made me do it!

The sweet watermelon is paired with a splash of tequila and a squeeze of lime juice for one of the tastiest ways to keep your cool all summer long. A tequila-free version would be delicious too, but definitely not as fun!
