Tonight, blend together something smoky, fresh, tart, and juicy. This crowd-pleasing cocktail begins with crushed watermelon—a plant made up of 92% water, making it incredibly beneficial for skin and overall glow on days in the triple digits. Then, the flavor notes get more complex with the mix of anti-inflammatory mint, jalapeño, and lime.
Add a shot of organic mezcal if you so choose, but we think the real star of this libation goes to Beauty Water Drops. This tincture of 72 ionic minerals provides electrolytes and micronutrients that are necessary to many body functions, but are rare to come by in the standard American diet with modern soil degradation. Keep one vial in your beach bag and one in your pantry all summer long, and ensure you've got hydrated cells and a magnetic sparkle to match this effervescent margarita.
