Watermelon Prosecco Margaritas

The Watermelon Prosecco Margarita is a refreshing cocktail recipe that blends of tequila, sparkling wine, and fresh watermelon juice and can be easily made into a party pitcher for Cinco de Mayo, or another other celebration.

In this Watermelon Prosecco Margarita recipe, we used fresh watermelon, tequila, and chilled sparkling wine to make this margarita and we also created a prosecco syrup instead of the conventional water and sugar formula for simple syrup. Oh, and don't forget sugar or salt for the rim!

 

We all love to have a good time, and since Cinco de Mayo is quickly approaching, now is the ideal time to celebrate with a tasty margarita cocktail. So get your glasses, tequila, prosecco, and plenty of limes!
