This Watermelon Rita long drink recipe makes throwing together a quick round of Margaritas quick and easy. Fresh fruit is ideal for most cocktail recipes, but sometimes that just isn’t possible. An on the fly gathering of friends sometimes means grabbing a few bottles of what you have on hand from the liquor cabinet and then… just start mixing!

Make sure you always have a few bar basics stocked in the fridge just in case. Simple syrups, grenadine and sour mix can be store bought. But homemade mixers add just the right touch of fresh to any drink. They also lend you a bit of “home bartender know how” with even the simplest of cocktails.
