Watermelon Jalepeno Cocktail

When my husband and I went on our sans-kids trip to Miami, the bartender at one of the restaurants pulled out his own personal stash of watermelon (reserved for special guests,*ahem*…. the couple sitting next to us) and curated a cocktail with a surprising blend of flavors: watermelon and… jalepeno? Apparently we were not so subtle in our interest and he gave us a sample as well. Refreshing on the front end, spicy on the back end. A seriously cool cocktail that needed to be recreated.

Sip, smile, then SHARE!!  😉

P.S. Wearing: Gap Chambray (old, but similar here) // Necklace // Shorts (on sale)

P.P.S. Wondering about that awesome glass? It’s THE best – shatterproof, grip-able and seriously cute.

    This caught my interest. I have watermelon but no jalapenos. Maybe after my next trip to the grocery store.
