Tasting Notes
The first sip of the Frozen Melon Margarita introduces a burst of cool, fruity flavors. The melon liqueur stands out with its sweet, juicy taste, which is perfectly complemented by the crisp, clean notes of tequila. The lemon juice adds a tangy brightness that balances the sweetness, while the simple syrup rounds everything off with a smooth, sweet finish.
As the ice melts, the flavors meld together, creating a delightful and refreshing drink experience.
As you continue to enjoy the drink, the interplay of flavors becomes more nuanced. The tequila’s earthy undertones become more pronounced, blending harmoniously with the mellow sweetness of the melon liqueur. The lemon’s acidity keeps the drink lively and prevents it from becoming overly sweet.

Notes
The green hue in this drink comes from the Midori melon liqueur, but a green color is not mandatory. If your liqueur is a different color, it's fine.
If you can't seem to find melon liqueur, swap it for another ounce of tequila, and swap the 1 oz of simple syrup for melon syrup.
