Cool Off with a Watermelon Cucumber Tequila Cooler

It isnt officially summer yet and oddly enough, Los Angeles is feeling a lot like autumn? Its cool and crisp and Ive been wearing a hoodie everyday this week. But I know the heat is coming. And I want us all to be prepared.

This drink is something that I would even drink without tequila or mezcal. Its a delicious, refreshing drink that is tasty even without the alcohol. The agave was added only because were sort of at the beginning of watermelon season and my watermelon wasnt as sweet as I wouldve loved it to be. But if you make this in say, July, you most likely wont need it.

The watermelon is cubed and then frozen. Think of it like watermelon ice cubes. This makes it very watermelon-y without having to add any ice. The cucumber and lime add some additional refreshing flavor. And the tequila, well, it does a good job at making this extra enjoyable.
