Ingredients

silver tequila
1 small watermelon
juice of 2 limes
1 cup blueberries
1/2 liter club soda
raw cane sugar to taste


Instructions

1. Cut the watermelon off the rind and into little sections.
2. Juice the melon. I used an actual juicer, but mashing up the watermelon in a large bowl and pouring the mush through a strainer works just as well.
3. Pour watermelon juice into a pitcher half filled with ice.
4. Squeeze in the juice of two limes (or about 3 Tbsp. of lime juice from concentrate).
5. Add fresh blueberries.
Note: They won’t give the cocktail too much flavor, but they definitely add the patriotic flair you’ll need if serving this on the 4th! Plus, a little antioxidant kick if you eat them out of the bottom of your glass.
6. Pour in 5 oz. of tequila and 8 oz. of club soda. Stir well. This is also where you can add your raw cane sugar to taste. I prefer my cocktails tart, so I left it out. You can also use the sugar to rim your glasses for a little added sweetness.
