The K Recommends A Cocktail [August]: The K’s Spicy Marg

THE K’S WATERMELON SPICY MARG

As we dive into summer – nicer weather, longer days, and lifted spirits – we’re met with countless chances to commemorate the changing of the season. What better way to celebrate than with my dear friend and confidant – tequila. The K’s August cocktail is a refreshing twist on the classic Spicy Margarita with the in-season fruit by the name of muddled watermelon. We’re talking light, hydrating, and very boozy. Let’s jump in.
