Watermelon Crush Created by Pamela Wiznitzer, USBG NY Chapter President and Creative Director Seamstress, NY

Tres Agaves Blanco’s silky texture compliments the watermelon and hibiscus syrup incorporated into this beautifully light libation. 

2 parts Tres Agaves Blanco

3-4 pieces Watermelon (or use WTRMLN WTR if you don’t want to deal with cubing/muddling)
