Notes
Can I use a different fruit for this?
Yes, I suggest trying other melons such as honeydew, cantaloupe, canary melons, or winter melons. Is there a version that does not contain alcohol?
Of course. For a delicious mocktail, replace the tequila with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic spirit. What can I do to make it sweeter?
To adjust the sweetness, add more simple syrup to the level you prefer.
