07.03“Uno” Watermelon & Basil Cocktail
The hottest new tequila that’s selling off the shelves is Uno Dos Tres Organic Tequila, a new line of tequila launched this year by tequila master, David Ravandi. David can make a great tequila drink from just about anything. He pairs the ingredients to his Uno, Dos or Tres bottles of tequila.
Lucky for me last night , there was lots of fresh watermelon, so David prepared the “Uno” Sandia cocktail. It was topped with a fresh basil leaf and the protocol is to sip the sandia while smelling the basil. It’s a combination sure to knock you off your feet!
The story of Uno Dos Tres is a fun read. Check it out on the 1 2 3 Tequila website.
