Notes
How To Make a Watermelon Margarita for One: 2oz Tequila (4 Tbsp), 0.5oz Watermelon Liqueur (1 Tbsp), 1 teaspoon lime juice or 1 squeeze of a lime, 3-5 oz watermelon watermelon juice depending on how strong you like it. Mix in a cocktail shaker and serve over ice.
How To Measure Alcohol: When I worked as a bartender, we used a jigger or a 4-count free pour technique (4 count = 1 oz) with a pour spout. For the free pour, we had to take weekly blind tests to make sure our counts weren't too spaced out though. At home, if you don't have a jigger, 1oz equals 2 Tbsp.
