Swapping liqueur for a simple sweetener is my favorite way to lighten up this cocktail. If you are ready for sunny weather and relaxation vibes, you have to try this watermelon margarita.
“The Margarita, which translates to daisy flower in Spanish, was an inevitable twist on the Daisy, a cocktail template involving spirit, citrus, orange liqueur and soda”. I seriously can’t wait to try that!
