The Wawa is a fruit-forward, vibrant cocktail that perfectly balances the earthy bite of tequila with the sweet, refreshing taste of watermelon. A delicate touch of rose water elevates the drink, adding a sophisticated floral aroma that pairs beautifully with the agave.

  • Premium Tequila (Blanco preferred)1.5 oz
  • Watermelon Mojito Mix (or fresh muddled watermelon)1.5 oz
  • Fresh Lime Juice0.5 oz
  • Rose Water2 dashes
  • Mint sprig and cucumber sliceGarnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the tequila, watermelon mix, lime juice, and rose water in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill and aerate.
  3. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  4. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a thin slice of cucumber.
Warning: Dosing Rose Water

Rose water is incredibly potent and highly concentrated. Be very careful to use only 2 dashes. If you over-pour, the cocktail will taste like perfume and completely overpower the delicate watermelon and agave notes. When used correctly, it provides a subtle, aromatic lift.
