Hello Sunshine!

Hello Sunshine cocktail
This is my second and last submission to Home Bar Awards July challenge. This riff on a Tequila Sunrise takes a few more liberties than my first attempt. I was inspired in part by Big Heart Tea’s Sunshine Dust, a turmeric tea concentrate blended with ginger, lemon grass and peppercorn. 
​
I used the Sunshine Dust to make a simple syrup which layers beautifully with the watermelon juice. The slight spiciness of the sunshine syrup works well with the sweetness of the juice and a little acid solution helps add balance. I love tequila with watermelon and anything spicy and it was great to try something beside a hot pepper to create that pairing.
