About
This cocktail was created by Dan Greenbaum (@dangbaum) at Diamond Reef in Brooklyn in 2017. I found the recipe on the Bartender’s Choice app, where it appears as a shaken tequila drink with watermelon, lime, agave, and chili salt. At Diamond Reef, the Spicy Flamingo was also served frozen, which makes a lot of sense for such a summery combination. The watermelon keeps it light and refreshing, lime brings plenty of acidity, and the chili salt adds just enough heat to play against the fruit and tequila.Cheers y’all!
