A Tequila Mockingbird cocktail on a table.

Tequila Mockingbird

Print Recipe
A relatively simple sweet and spicy Tequila based cocktail with Watermelon, Lime Juice, and Agave Spirit make this cocktail an interesting winner.
This recipe comes from New York bartender Greg Seider. Being a relatively common pun on the book To Kill a Mockingbird, there's more than a few cocktails that share this name. So don't be surprised if you stumble upon other recipes with the same name that are actually very different.
We've chosen this recipe as it's a little unusual, especially with the Watermellon, which you don't see enough in a drink!
