Strawberry-Watermelon Jalapeño Martini

Have you heard about the new line of premium ready-to-serve margarita, Sandra Lee Cocktail Time™ Margaritas?
Well, to usher in Independence day weekend, I took one for the team by testing out the ready-to-serve margarita. The margarita is perfect straight up, but I couldn’t leave well enough alone, so added my own twist with the Strawberry-Watermelon Jalapeño Martini.

Using just a few simple ingredients, this sweet and spicy concoction is perfectly refreshing for the summer heat.

It’s a cinch to make and it can be customized various ways, making it a great addition to your summer cocktail line-up.  The  Sandra Lee Cocktail Time™ Margaritas comes in two flavors: Strawberry and Key Lime. Using any of the two margarita flavor as a base, the possibilities are endless.
