Salted Mint Watermelon Margaritas
Alright, you guys know I love everything tequila when it comes to summertime, and this new combo hit the freaking spot! Joe’s family came over for our weekly dinner and I was in charge of making the drinks so I decided to get creative. I am currently addicted to watermelon, so I figured why not include it in there? I love watermelon & mint salads, so why not combine them into a drink as well. These are so insanely easy to make and super delicious!
