The Watermelon Jala-‘Rita is a premium rocks margarita made with Dos Primos® Blanco Tequila, watermelon, and jalapeño in a Tajin-rimmed 18-ounce schooner, garnished with lime and a jalapeño wheel. It’s also available without the jalapeño for guests looking for a milder option.

“Dos Primos means ‘Two Cousins’ in Spanish, and my cousin, Jeff Worn and I, created Dos Primos Tequila to embody the spirit of taking life a little slower and savoring the beauty of your surroundings,” said Rhett. “We love finding new ways and places to showcase our exceptional tequila made from hand-harvested, 100% pure agave sourced from the estates in Los Altos and the valley area of Jalisco, Mexico.”

“Dos Primos Tequila is all about celebrating family and enjoying the moment —values that resonate perfectly with us at Fuzzy’s,” said Patrick Kirk, Chief Marketing Officer at Fuzzy’s Taco Shop. “Which is why Dos Primos Tequila is such a great fit to make our new drink of the summer – the Watermelon Jala-‘Rita. It’s the ultimate refreshing cocktail to enjoy with friends and family, just as it should be. So, come down to Fuzzy’s in your T-Shirt and Church Boots to enjoy the Unforgettable combination of the Watermelon Jala-‘Rita and a Hot Honey Chicken Taco.”
