Good and refreshing cocktail, but for my taste Tequila is too prominent, I prefer a Melon Daiquiri.

Really refreshing, which has been welcome during the heatwave we’ve just had! The melon blends well with the tequila, and the lime really adds a tart zing which helps in quenching your heat thirst. Very drinkable. Mine was a different colour though, as my melon flesh was orange.
