Spicy Watermelon Candy Cocktail

It's five o'clock somewhere...and that somewhere is here!

 Ring in happy hour with this Spicy Watermelon Candy Cocktail. Inspired by watermelon chile covered lollipops, this drink is the perfect end to your day.

This recipe only calls for a few, simple household ingredients: tequila, limes, ice, sparkling water, and our Watermelon and Spicy beverage infusions.

The best part about this drink you ask? The flavor.

Our Amoretti® Watermelon Beverage Infusion is crucial to making this recipe burst with real fruit flavor and sweetness. Oh! Did we also mention that this beverage infusion allows you to have watermelon cocktails and mocktails all year long? Winning!

The addition of our Spicy Beverage Infusion is what makes this recipe taste exactly like the Watermelon Chile Candy. It provides some heat and sweetness, while making you want to go back for round two!

Enough with the chitter chatter, let's get in to making this drink!
