History
Watermelon, lime, and pineapple harmoniously combine in this very fruity, tequila-based sour.

In November 2012, Philip emerged victorious in the Swizzle Masters competition, having presented this drink, which he originally served with the following specifications: "Summer of Matador Glass: Old-fashioned Garnish: 3 ginger slices, pineapple & mint sprig Method: SHAKE first 5 ingredients with ice and strain into glass filled with crushed ice. Crown with DRIZZLE of watermelon liqueur. 30ml Tequila 20ml Green melon liqueur 20ml Pineapple juice 10ml Lime juice 10ml Agave syrup 10ml Watermelon liqueur"
