It sometimes
can be said that less is more. In this instance, a drink that requires more
than one or two ingredients will leave your guests saying one common thing “AMAZING.”
Make this drink and test the ratios to make sure you can handle them as some
people have a low tolerance for mixed libations. This drink, known as the “Un
Clasico” is in honor of National Watermelon Day.
A little known fact is that in
Argentina it used to be considered suicide to mix Watermelon with Red Wine, boy
are we glad they were wrong and that master Mixologist DAVID CORDOBA, came up
with this recipe as his homage to Sangria.
Enjoy this one
responsibly, it is no joke.
